hotrod2 - is that unusual or really everyday? Sorry if it's old stuff. Still want to try to ID it. No luck on the net as yet. Hope the experts here can help.

tony.d - Yes .. a two speed lever on the handle bars!
 
elginkid:

Deluxe Hornet, 4th from the bottom looks close. What year were these available. Had to be 1956 and earlier. Color was an electric green with a two tone green / cream seat.

Any more info?

Really would like to try to find / restore one!
 
I think it was a 1957 Schwinn Deluxe Hornet - two speed coaster brake from what I can piece together off suggestions and the net.

Can anybody confirm from the the descriptions above?

Can't find any OEM Schwinn catalog info or possible restoration path.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
