BF Goodrich and Roadmaster bikes info

I have these two bikes.
The men's is badged Goodrich, looks to be 50's. It is repaint, New Departure, Persons seat.
The girls looks to be prewar, original paint.
What's your opinion about the dating and the originality.

If the guard is original on the BFG then it's pre 1953 and the fork would not be correct. SN will date it.

Girls is postwar, 1947-48.

Check the left rear dropout first, it's easier. If not there it's under the crank, and I'm betting that's where it is.

The BF Goodrich is probably an early Postwar, wrong fork like someone said. Decent looking bike, similar to my 46. If yours had a tank, rack etc it would have been a Challenger, if not, it was called a Leader like mine. Really just a DX model.
