Westpoint?

[kingskid]

I picked up a bike today that I was told was from the early to mid 60's, but I have no idea what it is. The chaingaurd says "Westpoint"; all the other decals are worn off and there is no headbadge. It is a ladies style bike with a front mounted rack, chrome fenders that form a v shaped crest, and a unique crank sproket that has star shaped cutouts. 26 inch tires. Has the letters "VS" on the fork sides. Does anyone know what this is and/or have any info about it?
Thanks for your help....

The star sprocket and peaked fenders sound like an AMF product.

I will see if I can post a pic of my wife's grandfather's Westpoint that is sitting out behind his house...he refuses for it to take up space in his basement. Maybe they are a lot alike.
