It is a "Stingray type" bike, but the one in the picture is either a Huffy or Murray. I believe they were from the same factory. The give away is the chain guard and front chain ring. The name plate on the head tube isn't Schwinn. Bob nailed the style of the bike but not the model. If you want one that is authentic, I suggest Craigs List and Ebay. Be careful. The real thing is collectible and some knock offs do exist. The only Stingrays that are coveted are the originals from the late 60's and early 70's. Schwinn re-issued them later. Know the serial number and check its authenticity before you buy. I would beg to differ with Bob, but only on a technicality.

If you want the real thing you can find them on Ebay. That is a Schwinn stingray krate bike. If you want the real thing you can find them on Ebay.
