Another Murray has surfaced. Got it from CL on the cheap. After looking thru this post, I think it might be a 1954. Kinda difficult to see the number. Looks like MO (I or T) 250574. Apparently, it had a tank? Can any of you Murray Gurus help out on year and if it had a Tank?

Murray built elgin. Serial number is:
MOS
125674
Any help would be great. Has to be
38-41 but would love to narrow it down.
 
My cruiser bottom bracket has mot-v so I'm guessing it is a 1956 murray or do other companies use this numbering system? If only Murray does can someone shed some light on what "M20" would be. Unfortunately the bike is stripped of anything else and someone painted it with a paint can, but appears that it was originally red when I was scraping to find the serial number. Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give.

Only Murray used that system, and bikes built for Sears have an extra S, so they'd be stamped 'MOST-V' .

Thank you Adam Tinkerer for the information.

Would the M20 stand for the model? I looked at the 1956 Murray catalog and don't see an m20. I do see a 20 inch version bike, but this is 26.

Thanks

This is my grandpa's old bike I have been trying to figure out a year/model of this bike. All I have figured out is that this bike is a Murray. The serial number is 504 46561 14488-1 but no letters telling me anything else about this bike. I would like to restore this bike but would like to know the model.

Ok I have done some more research and I think is it an early 60s (possibly 61-63) JC Higgins bike that has been repainted some time ago. It is not a flightliner but its little brother. I would still like to find a pic of the catalog is was in and maybe a few more pics of what this like looked like in newer condition. Any information would be a huge help.
