Anyone know the model? Old Higgins

[CannonCam]

I was gifted this Higgins by my boss before he passed in August. I build rat rod bikes here and there and this was a great platform in the shape it was, he told me to go wild with it. I'm looking for a tank and am unsure what model this is. Can anyone point me in the right direction to finding out what model it is?

Here's the serial

Possible early mid 50's colorflow? I'm not familiar with the serial numbers.

The MOD 502 means it is a Murray built bike for Sears.

MOS-M is a 1948, Sears bikes like this have an extra S in the date code. Any straight bar Murray tank from the '40s-'50s should fit.

I think it's a lesser model than a Colorflow because of the frame style?

The lesser models sure look like they have the same frame to me. But I could be wrong. No other models had the spring fork.

The lower bar is bent on the Colorflow. Here's mine.

The bike you have has the lesser model head badge also. Barry

Ohh. :eek:

The OP's bike is an earlier model, a 48 Flow-Motion.
