I live for the CABE
These typically had the 1-3/4” Schwinn scripted Stimsonite reflector in the hole by the lower fender brace.
Those upper holes look like they had a Whizzer type tail light.
That’s probably what the wires on the chainstay were for.
Most likely had a battery tube mounted down there.
The rack reflector on the 39/40 models was the type with the triple step aluminum bezel.
There are lots of brittle wires running everywhere which I am slowly removing along with the black cloth tape and black glue residue. I thought about the whizzer light in the upper holes but thought it was too high of a location. Will have to look closer if it would fit. Maybe it had a custom taillight.
