Could the quad bar be a 1960s rollfast?

Ross is another option, but the dropouts aren't the same:

The black one is probably a Murray made '47 Higgins.

The green one is ~'60-'61 Murray made Higgins Flightliner. If the fender is original to the bike and was originally painted...the bike is a '60. If it is original to the bike and chrome, it is a '61.

Cool scores!

WOW Wished mine looked like that, Thank you so much.
The green one I noticed some chips in the paint, and sees to chip off easy, like there is chrome under the paint. .......Curt
