My account just got approved so im excited to start sharing my ideas and projects with yall! 25 years old from Illinois. Have 2 projects going on right now (kinda 3) and getting a bike delivered to me at 3pm today! I have a 1961 Schwinn tiger that im working on, and a 68 stingray. Getting another 26 inch schwinn today, not sure what year yet..

That green paint should shine up nicely, the matching saddle is killer

And with a crash rail to boot. The 2 speed ND hub is before 1960 I think. I took a 64 American all apart and cleaned each part, then waxed it and it looked like a new bike. Schwinn used good paint and baked it on and also had excellent chrome. You can get the manufacture date from the serial number on the rear left dropout and possibly ID the model also.
 
Now I see where you say it's a 62. It's a Corvette because it was the only 1962 bike in green with chrome fenders.

Your serial number will give the date of manufacture. It's on the left rear dropout, I think the bike is older than 62.

Bendix made 2 speed hubs back then. They had red band and yellow band 2 speed automatic hubs, you shifted by pedaling slightly backward. Yours is a manual 2 speed and has a shifter on the handlebars that is used to go between low and high gears.
