It has the chrome lugs in front along with chrome dropouts front and rear.
Now, this is just what the seller said and seems a bit indirect. Still, if—big if?—the bike was made for a Schwinn executive, it's quite plausible that it could differ significantly from production Paramounts.
I have no interest in the bike (not a Paramount type). Someone else will have to investigate.
