What is this?

My dad found this in the irregation ditch in front of his house and gave it too me. I am thinking from pictures its a J C Higgins womens bike. Any ideas?

It looks like one of the variations of the ladies spaceliner. I can't really see the chain guard very well, but maybe a "Foremost" that was sold by J.C. Penney's I believe. Still a spaceliner though. Get with TRM about a conversion tank, and get to building!!

How awesome is that! Thank you. Drag King is one of my favorite bikes on here. Maybe I will loosely copy it.

Excited to try my hand at building a vintage bike.

Yep, it's the same frame that I started with. I believe it's a Flightliner. They are slightly different than the Spaceliner but I actually like them better. Your lucky to get the rat trap fork also! Not all of them came with that fork.

Here's the Drag King...

Manufactured by Murray, those rat trap forks are sweet.

That makes me happy! Crazy it was found submerged in a ditch. And that everything still turns.

Thanks for the info guys.
