Ladies truss frame, medium rare

Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Picked up this stripped frame from a well respected Caber a while ago. Saw something in it at the get go, but could never really place it. I've never been that quick on the uptake. Anyway, finally got around to it, as the seasons are changing, wanted to get it started. Painted it last week & sent the plating out on Tuesday. Got a call on Thursday that it was done. Coming together a lot quicker than expected. What drew me to it was that the frame was pretty unique. It's a teen's Red Wing, the only advertising & actual bikes, that I can find, are all truss frames. So it seems somewhat, logical that the women's version would be a upside down truss. I like the elegance of this era's bicycles. Anyone have other examples of this type frame?
