Yes, odd though it seems. My father-in-law bought it in the early 70's before deciding bicycle commuting wasn't for him. He told me it cost him over $1,000. It was an odd mix of some quite nice parts (like the cranks, derailleurs, and wheels) and some pretty cheap ones (like the pedals and stem shifters).
I can't measure angles, but have added pictures to the original post (and hopefully made the chart easier to read.
From what little I've heard about geometry, the Free Spirit does look better by the numbers. I'm not sure whether that would translate to practice or not.
