Best I can find by searching catalogs and other materials, year should be 1952. Just servicing/adjusting everything made this old Schwinn ride like a dream. I clear coated over the patina on the frame because I love the look. This was a family members bike that’s been in a shed since 1970. In process of making a seat tube to fit a modern seat. Since these photos I have changed the bars for some better condition ones found on eBay.
