Funky or Normal?

Was checking out dad's bikes last weekend and he has one he'd like more information on. It's pretty funky, or maybe it's normal for the time.

Any information appreciated.

Thanks

Early to mid 60's Murray and I have no idea what model. Seat was added. Same style frame as the Murray built Sears Flightliner and Spaceliner.

EDITED COMMENTS: Initially, what I thought you had was a Western Flyer Cosmic Flyer, just like the one in this first picture, circa around 1966. Photo credit: Cabe member 'wrongway'. Upon closer inspection I noticed the small blade attachment on your front fender, your rear reflector, and the decals on your forks don't match a Cosmic Flyer.

The correct identity of your bike is an Otasco Flying O. They were built by Murray for Otasco (Oklahoma Tire and Safety Company). Take a close look at yours and see if the identifying features in the other pictures of a Flying O match yours.
