The boys bike looks like a late 30s/early 40s Westfield that someone has changed out the wheels to S7's (?) and installed a Monark crankset. The fork has the truss rod brackets behind the basket. I think it's cool. The saddle looks correct as well as the handlebars and stem. Neat!

The girls looks similar to my murray stratoliner I used in the build off

Both of those bikes are to cool! I'd give the boys bike a tune up, and some new whitewalls, and call it done. Oh, and lose the basket. I'd have to stare at the girls for awhile before I could come up with a plan.

You dont like that basket ? ...It looks like it got in a fight with a tree....and I have my ideas about the fork being bent also.

Basket?

be very careful with that Torrington stem on the boys, they are alloy, and the break very easy, most are broke from being overtighten, nice scores, gald for you,

That JC Higgins is a 1956, the Murray factory had a strike, so Sears contracted with Stelber, out of Europe, so there are some strange looking 56 Higgins' out there! Here's one I had:

It was equally rough, so I used the back half of the frame for another project. ~Adam
