Thanks everyone for the complements. I will get this bike posted over in the chrome Spaceliner forum with some before and after pics. I'm having a blast with this bike...makes me feel like a kid again!

You mentioned the need for a 65 license tag. Not letting this one go but, this would look look good on the bike.

Beautiful bike that's probably the best preserved I've ever seen, but it's not a '65. It's a model 46922 which was introduced in 1966 and produced for three years to 1968 (top of the line of the 15 men's Spaceliner models produced in those years) . If you look at the serial number on the rear dropout, it should have either a 0, 1, or 2 immediately after the model number (as a sixth digit). From my research I believe this indicates the year, in which case "0" is 1966, "1" is 1967, and "2" is 1968. Note: the model number follows immediately after the first three digits of the serial number (502), which is the numerical designation for 'Sears' by Murray, the company that built the Spaceliner for Sears.

Spaceliner History Information

I need some basic info about the Spaceliners as I am sure there are others that need these questions answered as well. The questions are as follows: between what years were they produced, who produced them and which years, when did the tank go from straight to the 7 style, which ones came chromed and which ones were painted, what makes a De Luxe model, what sizes did they come in and what were the original retail prices for them. If JD or anyone else could answer these questions and offer any other info, I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks.

I think your bike epitomizes mid-60's design.
