What bike is this???

I recently purchase this bike with little info. All I know is that it was hung on a wall for 30 plus years and has been repainted in the past. If anybody has any info on it, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks

Welcome. The overall image won't help too much. There were a number of American manufacturers in the late 50's to 60's. Not a Schwinn. These bikes are not my area of interest. For those who would know, detail images go the chain guard, rack, front fender decoration, fork crown and possibly the non drive side rear axle region could well help. The rim cross section might give a hint too. Tire size appears a bit thinner than the typical beach cruiser.

From: Rhode Island (an obscure suburb of Connecticut)

Bikes: one of each

Double top tube is distinctive to one brand, but I don't recall which right now. Maybe early 60s.
Try The Classic and Antique Bicycle Exchange | Collectible vintage and antique bicycle forum or Rat Rod Bikes | A Community of Custom Vintage Bicycle Builders. They know the fat tire stuff.

Thanks for the tips guys. I ended up finding out it is a 1950s Ross Deluxe. It's missing a small little tank but other than that it's pretty original.
