Schwinn Admiral?

[Stephanie Smithson]

Hey all,
Can anyone help me out with this bike? It says admiral on the front badge and looks like a headlight and most likely a basket is missing from the front. My question is it called another name other than admiral (ex-hornet)? I can't find anything searching the web by schwinn admiral. Only thing close said it was a Schwinn admiral hornet. Is that correct? From my understanding, the bike is from the 50s. As always, any help is much appreciated.

Admiral is not a model name. Bike is most likely a hornet or DX assuming there's even a difference. Rear rack is wrong and basket would've been an add on anyway.

Should it have a headlight? Horn?

Horn in the tank. Light was probably a delta torpedo

Possible 1948-49 model?

Hey Gary, Don't you ever sleep? What are you doing up so late?
I think the bike was just called the "Hollywood".

Nope, got no sleep last night so why go to bed.

The Hollywood was a DeeeLuxe model and loaded with bucket seats, Hi-Fi, and power steering.

The handlebar stem is a one-year-only from 1949, so this should define the date.
