The catalog for this year also shows a monster 27" size. I bet they sold nearly twelve of those. I'd go googling for a photo but since they all have 27" tires I don't know how successful it would be.
Schwinn offered a number of models in 27" frames. I recall that we sold a couple during tenure in the local Schwinn shop. They went to people taller than me- I'm 6-foot-4.
There's a 27" frame Voyageur for sale near Portland:
