Sears Model?

[Chainmaker2]

Picked this up on lunch break yesterday from a scrapper...ideas on model/year..it pretty much is all there as far as I can see.
Chrome is still pretty nice..flaked off in a couple spots so far on front fender while cleaning it up

1964-65 Murray-built ladies' Spaceliner/Flightliner. Similar bikes produced for Sears prior to 1964 were branded JC Higgins. Originally came with a tank light.

Looks like a very good condition bike.
With the 469100 number, it doesn't match the list on this thread I found on the CABE, but there's a lot of info on Spaceliners. It matches up with the 46950 model.

That's all I found as well...maybe I'll try my login and check over there. Condition is pretty nice, apparently the tank&light are missing, but overall is in great shape,

Model #46910 is listed in the Dec '62 Sears Wishbook as the girl's Flightliner--price $56.95.

I'd say that's it, from 62. I was focusing on just the spaceliners, but it's clearly a fully equipped flightliner.
If those are the original tires (probably) there's a date code on those Allstate tires, according to the page I referenced from the Cabe.

Started to clean it up today and besides a couple big spots in front fender
.she's gonna clean up nice.

 

[Chainmaker2]

I'm guessing this was a dealer option becuase I see it in alot of the pics...cleaned up nice and works great...made in West Germany

Did you install the stem backwards for a reason?

It may not HAVE a tank, but it sure is built like one.

I always do that...for me .I like the handlebars closer.

 

[Wildcat]

You can also rotate the mounting bracket forward on the seat to get 3 inches closer.

Do you find a big difference in the steering effort that way? Looks like there'd be massive tiller effect with the leverage changes

Honestly..since I got back into bikes (since being a kid) I've always flipped them (it started with a motorized boardtracker) and cant recall how any other way
