To All
I renewed all of the bearings and left her "as bought" at a swap meet to ride during the winter for therapy after surgery. I was going to restore, but she had so many different coats of paint, I didn't know where to start. She rides like new, but looks bad. I save my middleweight Schwinn for Summer. Doc says "Exercise" so I ride.

That's a 1956, the year they imported cruisers due to a US factory strike. The chain guard is from a 60s Huffy.

Forgot about the '56 imports. You nailed it pretty good, Adam!

Thanks guys!!

Welcome back! Since then, I found out there wasn't a strike, but main supplier Murray was building a new factory. And they had a few of these imports available into the mid '60s.
