Looks like a Jetflow. By the pictures I'm going to guess it's an Australian model
I gave you a thumbs up just because the Australia thing made me laugh!

What are the prefix letters of the serial number?
MO?
That will indicate the year.
My neck hurts from trying to view the bike while standing on my head so here it is with it resting on the ceiling..
Nice bike by the way. I love these Higgins tanks.
It's all about the Tanklights!!
How did I run out of room so fast?

Looks to be MOS-U, which I have as 1955. From what I've seen, JC Higgins didn't offer a full, flashy deluxe model in 1955. It could have been due, in part, to the strikes at the Murray factory which caused much of the manufacturing year to be outsourced to Austria.
1954 was the last year the Colorflow was offered, and 1956 introduced the Jetflow. So I think this may have been the most deluxe available for '55. They possibly offered it with a light and springer, though. Can anybody confirm this? I can't locate a 1955 Sears catalog to check.
