Cruiser

Found an old cruiser with a "springer" front end. The only info I can find so far is that it has "New Departure" coaster brake and very worn Schwinn grips. It seems to be all there. It has been painted numerous times and I havent found any numbers or any thing yet. Any thoughts on what it may be?

I went back and looked some more. The front hub is marked "Schwinn" Like I said it has tons of paint on it. Should there be numbers, if so, where other than the BB. I will probably bead blast the whole bike.......wheels and all

Looking down from the top......look at the very bottom edge of the fork stem bracket on the frame
in the 2 o'clock position right above the chrome ring. You should find frame numbers there. If not....
get out the sand blaster.

Some of the very old Schwinn's had the serial # on the rear wheel dropout.
