Wore out three sets of tires already!

Hello fellow Schwinn enthusiasts, sharing what we believe is a 1952 Spitfire. Trying to determine if it's actually a 52 ? Grips are prewar early postwar ovals. .
Thanks,
Tony and Sue

No ballooners like this built in 1957. The Serial was used in 52-53 and 57. Chain guards with the model name decals became the thing in 53 so I'm betting this is a Nov 1953 Serial Number and the bike very possibly was built in and for 1954.

Tires are balloon.
