AMF Roadmaster frame and tank, late 50's, going by the dropouts. Made in Arkansas right after CWC stopped making them. Everything else is added on, but it looks great! Might be the right chainwheel too. Here's a 58 AMF Luxury Liner:

thanks for the replies. saw the cwc/hawthorne Kirkpatrick has for sale, and it looks very similar, just this one is newer, so I guess its not a repro. the guard looks similar, and the chainring looks like the one in wildcats pic, so they may be original to the bike. the rest is not, but that's ok.
