I live for the CABE
Finished up the 62 King Size American in the harder to find Blue. It is a 62 only color along with Green. In 63 and 64 Schwinn went to only Red and Black with chrome fenders. Wasn't sure I was going to be able to get this but stezell came to the rescue. Thanks Sean!!! It sat on FB for a couple of weeks while I waited for someone to buy it but nobody did so I started to try and put a deal together. Thanks to Sean it worked out. Enjoy the pics!

Oh man I love this one!!! 😍
 
Very nice, in rare blue. What was the condition of the bike when you got it? Would like to see a before and after.

I have seen examples of 1963 serial numbers in blue as well. Here is the 63 catalog page saying blue, black and red were available.

This is a really pretty bike! Wow. Blue really sets it off. I had been thinking about letting my King Size go, but man… They are just really neat bikes!
I’ve been studying the pics, to see the diff is the head tube longer? I can tell it’s way taller

Head tube, seat tube. Both longer. Look at the relationship of the cantilever bars and the top tube of the frame towards the seat tube. Compare to your average typhoon or the such. I also judge the space above and below the head badge.
