Sears bike? New addition

[mellybug21]

Hey!
Heres a few pics, picked her up for $50. Is this a Sears bike? Ive been looking all morning and havnt had too much luck yet.
Has Durex rims, coaster brakes, and a original springer front end.

Thanks guys!

murray built something or other. I'm 90% sure the fork is not original, nor the chainring. Fork looks like cwc springer that's missing the upper and lower truss rods.

Yeah definitely Murray built--I think '65 from the serial but something right around then. I'd agree on the springer too. It's missing the truss rods and has different springs than original but it gives it a unique appearance and should still be fully functional, just a little less sturdy.

Cool! thanks guys. I put the rims/tires on. itching to get it rideable. I might just ratbike it. (Cruise it like she is.)

'MOD 502' is a Murray code indicating a made for Sears bike. the next #, 4681, is the catalog # for a 1959 Flightliner. That particular model was a notch below the top model, and didn't come with a springer at all. It did have small truss rods that mimic a springer, and, as already said, the fork on yours is an earlier CWC fork missing the upper rods. -Adam
