Schwinn installed the GT-300 (rebadged Crane GS) on the Paramount P15, World Voyageur and Sports Tourer starting in 1973. The Paramount P15 used the Campagnolo Gran Turismo from '70 through '72 and the Sports Tourer used it in '71 and '72. In '72 the World Voyageur came with the Crane GS.

The Volare and Traveler had the frames built, painted, and the complete bikes assembled in Japan, they were imported bikes. The Paramount (and Sports Tourer) was chromed/painted and built in Chicago, even if some of the frames were outsourced to Pioneer.
