I've had this bike for a few Years now and I'm wanting to know more about it. The only thing I have is what I think is the serial number 502 462111 309205 and on the chain guard it says sears its a ladies bike any help would be helpful
 
It was a bike sold at Sears probably made by Murray. You need pictures as the rest of the numbers mean little else if you want more information. Roger

There was no specific name for that model, it was simply called a "mid-weight tank bike". They were introduced in 1964 when Sears changed the branding on their bikes from J.C. Higgins to Sears, and were made at least until 1970. They were a lower cost tank bike that was positioned below the Spaceliner.

Try this link with the 502 number in the model field. Substitute your numbers in the field.
However I tried it and had no luck with the serial you gave.

It works when you use 50246211 as the model number (the model number is only the first 5 digits following the 502 prefix), but it doesn't tell you much.
