I have what I think is a Wartime BF Goodrich Cycle Truck built by Schwinn. In the two pics of the serial number. Before I went over it with an oily rag first character looks like the letter D. After the oil rag looks like letter I.
D47660. Or I47660

Looks like maybe you ought to use the oily rag on the chain?
Seriously, what a nice find. Blackout parts look to be what my New World is missing.
 
I've seen a few of the 1942 I serials that have a ghosting making hard to tell what the letter is. The I hand stamped serials on the 1942 New Worlds with the 3 piece cranks are terrible. I'm seeing an I on your serial.

Here's a 1942 New World. Notice the seam on this electro-forged BB shell.

Does that mean they built 2 different ladies frames in 1941 then? Because I’ve got a 1941 Hollywood frame and it’s not the same shape and design as the op frame. I’ve also owned a 1939 and a 1940 deluxe girls bike which both had the same frame as the op frame. Not trying to cause trouble here, just trying to learn.

I’m borrowing pictures from others here as I don’t have access to my girls bikes right now. But my 1941 Girls frame looks like this prewar BFG frame. Note the 2 support bars as opposed to the op bike which only has one support between the front frame tubes.
