J.C. Higgins dirt road find

[Dazed & Confused]

JC Higgins found 8 miles into a dirt road in the heart of Vermont. All parts intact, just needs tune up and tires.
Not sure of exact year and model. Is that really cool headlight original?

Damn !!! How nice is that ??? I wouldn't change a thing on that Beauty ! I say YES to the headlight ( But , I don't know that for a Fact ) I love this bike

From the illustrations in the catalog reprint book that I have, it appears this is either a 54 or 55. Prior to 54, there were two smaller headlamps. In 56, the chainguard was different. The colors are described as maroon and gold.

Valuable information on the sales catalog.

Could not believe the condition, no tears on seat or hand grips. Only a small tear on right directional lens.

Should shine up nice after I attack the surface rust. Worth the 125 I thought. Hope it rides as well as it looks.
