My Violet 1966 Schwinn Varsity Tourist
Dave Stromberger

My Violet 1966 Schwinn Varsity Tourist

... At least I think it's 1966? Serial number is missing the year code. C 14792, with the space. (thanks Eric Amlie for the year correction.)
According to the serial number listings in Collectable Schwinn-Built Bicycles 1950s – 1965 by James L. Hurd, the year letter is missing from 1/24/66 to 2/1/66.
These were all A & B numbers though. Not sure what to make of your C number.
Nice Bike...I have one in Sky Blue.
 
Note: It looks like your rear derailleur pivot is locked in place.
The derailleur should be canted forward a bit and be able to pivot freely from about the 5:00 o'clock to 7:00 o'clock positions.
Thanks! I haven't tried to ride it, otherwise I'd have noticed 🤪

Ironically, the Coppertone '62 Continental I bought was the same way when I first brought it home. As soon as I just loosed it slightly, it sprang into the proper position.
