Name that frame

Hey everybody, yesterday I picked up 3 "barn bikes" with the intention to get them just roadworthy enough to take to work and share with coworkers for quick rides at lunch. I went to pick up a 65 schwinn collegiate and a columbia sport (which is also quite old). The man sold them to me for a super deal under the condition that I took a 3rd "mystery" bike that he had for 10 dollars more, I figured what the heck and when I saw the third bike I liked its style even more than the two I went for. Problem is I have no idea what this bike is and its driving me nuts. I researched the bike for about 3 hours online and the closest I came is that it may possibly be some cheap Chiorda based on the styling of the rear dropouts. In any case I have posted pics of all the bikes, the one in question starts about 4 down from the top on this tumblr blog (http://constructor.tumblr.com/), would anyone have any more clues as to what this bike is? I found the s/n, its at the end of the string of photos. Thanks in advance for any clues you can offer.
