Help Identifying Bike?

Hello! I just got my hands on this bike and don't know what it is. The PO thought it was a Schwinn but I don't see any Schwinns that look like this and the serial number(s?) don't come up on the Schwinn database.

Any help IDing this frame?

My plan is to clean it up and clear it. The bike was in a fire at a local business, so I want to retain as much of the history as possible.

Definitely American based on the one piece crank. And definitely not a Schwinn base on the, well the pictures. That rear dropout looks familiar but I am no expert at this.

I like the style though, with the twin laterals coming through to the seat stay.

It look like a Sears Spaceliner.

This isn't identical, but it is close. Thinking it might be a mid-60's Ross.

Here is what I am basing it on:

I don't know what brand it may have marketed under but it was manufactured by Murray.

You guys are awesome! The rear rack exactly matches the Sears Spaceliner! Now I just have to find that headlight!

Edit for posterity: According to this page it's a 66-68 girl's Spaceliner (46335)
