CCM Adult Trike

Hi Everyone, just joined the site and excited to share my find from this weekend.  After ny son’s Saturday school classes, we were on our way home and I saw a garage sale and stopped as always to take a look.  There were three bikes, a 70’s ladies Raleigh in terrible condition, vintage entry level Peugeot 10 speed road bikes and the CCM adult trike that caught my eye.  I had seen adult trikes before but not an old one.  It wasn’t expensive and I bought it, seller said it was roughly 40 years ago he bought it. Here are some pics of it.  I took off the basket on the back to clean and it also has fenders for it.  Could anyone shed some light on this particular model?

Your pictures aren't posting. However, I was a CCM dealer in the 1970s and the only adult tricycle that I recall was a 3 speed model in 1977. Earlier, they had offfered an aftermarket tricycle conversion kit for bicycles but the only factory adult tricycle was catalogued in 1977. The serial number should corroborate the year. 

There was no demand for these in my region and the fact that were catalogued for only one year would indcate that they were a poor seller. BTW, CCM's unimaginative, offical model name was Adult 3 Wheeler.
