Looking for info...

Hello group, can anyone provide information on this middleweight bike I just picked up.

I believe that "bluegrass" was a product sold by Belknap hardware stores.
At one time "Viking" was a Westfield product label.

Thanks

The chain ring and general lines of your bike make me think of Huffy. You might want to look at this catalog from 1961:

1961 Walthour & Hood Catalog - Huffy, Dayton and Raleigh Bicycles | Middleweight Bicycles

I bought this off EBay not long ago and it has a certain charm, plus a good deal of interest. And I want to thank Floyd @WetDogGraphix for converting these from pdf's to jpg's so they could be posted!

But that double top tube has me stumped. Can we get a close up of the rear drop out?

Thank you for the info. I do believe this is a Huffy made bike. I will post some more pics later. Any idea on the value....paid $160, just wondering if I overpaid.
Thanks again!

This thing also has a different front brake.

Wow, a New Departure front brake! I wasn't expecting that! It was probably an aftermarket add-on and they're worth a few bucks now. As for the bike, I found a catalog picture of a 1964 Huffy Silver Jet that looks very similar to yours, posted by @jd56.

You have a nice complete bike. The front brake and reflectors on the grips are great. Well worth your $160 imo. The serial on Huffys have a digit then an "H". Yours is 6H, meaning the year ends in a 6. What decade is up to the features of the bike. Yours is a 66 Huffy made bike imo. Here's a 66 Huffy Eldorado:
