Yep, BB56132 is Feb 22, 1966. Is the number on the left rear dropout?
The D0968 is another story. Is the number on the bottom bracket? Then it's prior to 1948 unless there's one more number. If it's on the rear dropout, there has to be more numbers, I think.

It should have 5 or 6 digits after the letter. I'll agree, it looks like a Corvette. Good find.
it looks like you can see the schwinn decal on the top tube under the brake cable. that would make it a corvette and not a jag.
my brother had a 1979 chevette all stock, near mint. he took it to the woodward dream cruise and it was a huge hit. we also drove it out to mis for a nascar race, and almost sold it in the parking lot. he had 3 different offers for it. i know he wishes it was still around. will

Heres a pic. They are S-7s. They are rusty, but very straight. You can see the shiny spot were I tried some steel wool right quick. They look to clean up nice. The front has a servicable Schwinn Westwind tire, the rear Schwinn whitewall is toast. $25+shipping.
yup, i agree it looks like a vette. get some wheels and stuff on that other bike and you'll have two cool finds!
I looked through the serial number charts again. Your number is listed 3 times on the charts I looked at.
August 1952, December 1953, and June 1957.
The cranks will have the definative answer. You'll need to clean up the bearings, and grease them, so it needs to come apart anyway. The numbers will be on the center part of the crankarm, the last two digits will be the year.
