How late is the serial number? Looks like this beauty has the updated/revised 59 chain guard without the welded on wire support.
 
'61 style stem, and looks like the smaller/thinner head badge. I'm curious on the serial number as well.
Beautiful bike. GLWTS.

Hey guys, I just looked this one up again. I'm getting Dec.of 60. Even though manual shows it as a 59! Sorry, not a big Schwinn guy.

Is that hooked in or clipped on something? Or is it just sitting on the frame with it's little padded foot?
 
Is it intended to keep chain guard straight?
I just call it a support and have no idea what that wire actually supported. But Schwinn later had at least two fixes that replace that wire. See that bent over flange on this one? This was the 3rd version of this style guard, and the second version had a flange that was smaller in all directions L. & W..
