I did some research and found out that a lot of the very early huffy cruiser bikes were leftover Schwinns that got rebadged because huffy didnt have the production capability. This falls under that overlap if the PO dated it correctly.

That bike is what, mid '60s? I don't see how that qualifies it as a "very early" Huffy or cruiser.
Until someone shows me a picture of the '60s Schwinn cruiser with the dropouts crimped to the frame, the kickstand bolted on, a fork remotely similar to that, 26" rims that aren't S6's, and a whole lot of other low end components, I'm not buying it.
I don't mean to flame but I worked in Schwinn shops for about 10 years back in the '70s and '80s. That bike screams Huffy to me, not Schwinn. I could be wrong here, I'm sure someone will come up with a picture of it's Schwinn twin if I am. (Though even then it will still be a Huffy Eldorado.)
When Schwinn went bankrupt (about 40 years after that bike was built) I heard Huffy was going to buy the bicycle part of the business, I wonder if that's where the "leftover Schwinn" story came from???
