Can't make out the first letter of the serial. The first Streamliner named bike was 1954. Here's the 1956 catalog image.

Here's Tom Findley's Schwinn catalog scans............... http://www.trfindley.com/pg_schwinn_cats.htm

The number also shows up in '56. another case of duplication.. Jan. 5, 1955, and between 11/12 and 11/15, 1956.

Curious what rims are on your Streamliner. The 54 thru 56 models were balloon tires with the S-2's an the last issues for 1957 and 58 were middleweights with S-7's.

Cool, then your Streamliner is a 1955 model. The matching 56 serial number was stamped in mid November so that would have made the bike a 57 model and a middleweight with S-7 rims.
