Nice bike. This shows your bike may be a 1952 (or 1957). http://schwinncruisers.com/schwinn.php?serial=c92386

I don't think it is 52, and I guarantee it is not 57. I think you are closer to the mark. What does the code at the bottom left region of the stampings on the rear hub say? Should be one letter one number, like "P3" or such.

Very very nice find by the way.

It has a p2 on it

According to Morrow folklore, "P2" means the hub was manufactured 2nd qtr of '46. Which fits in with all the rest of the datable features. I think you were right on with '46-'48.
