jC Higgins Hot Mess

Can anyone help me figure this bike out? Is it a 1949 with in or text sproket? I am stumped by the carrier as well. Please help. Would like to hear some ideas.

Carrier looks like the one on the 1956. Page 115 in your Elgin-JC Higgins Hawthorne book.

Ah Gordon -- I wanted to dream that is was a colorflow and wanted others that drink the punch with me!

3 piece crank, weird rack, and non stainless head badge, all typical if the '56 imports.
