Schwinn Pumpkin Headlight

[Re-Cyclist]

Could someone here tell me if I am correct in my belief that the Schwinn "pumpkin" headlight was first offered in 1963? Also, what year were the side marker lights added? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The pumpkin rotary dial light was issued on some bikes starting with the 1962 model year. The piece with the side reflectors was never factory issued on a bike, it was an accessory item at your local Schwinn dealer in 1970.
