I'm betting that's a 1940 model then, not a 39

Yeah - probably 1940 or 41 - the very earliest in '39 had rear-facing. The New World Racer also had rear-facing. The New World touring had forward-facing in '40, '41, and '42. I've owned one from each of those years, all with forward-facing drops.

'38-39

'42 with partial black out parts:

The New World is one of the best "values" out there still in vintage bikes. They're really well-made, ride nicely, and cost a fraction of what a ballooner in the same condition from the same year would cost.
