looks like a nice bike though.the front drum is cool,but the fork looks to be bent.
 
1940 Schwinn straightbar

Missing tank and carrier. Cool funky rider with some good parts!

Nice find!
 
Twin drum brakes, very nice score. Fork is indeed bent, any established shop will have the tools to put it right, though it will need to be removed first. Lots of potential there.

way nice find,the rack and tank if you decide to put them on will make it an awesome find and those 2 parts are way more common than the dual brake setup,and dont worry about the chips,iv heard ppl try to put chips and stuff in just to give the bike fake patina!!!!!!!
 
Looks like a high visibility paint job to me. Possibly akin to the Brits driving around without their lights on during WWII and painting black and white stripes on everything
 
if you posr the seial number someone will give you the year,should be under the pedals on the frame or on the left side or the frame where the wheel axle is
