I remember both this model, and the 'ram's horn' handlebar variation.  'Boys' Life' magazine was good for at least one Schwinn advertisement a month.

my best friend in elementary school had a green one “pea picker”

I had the regular, stripped down Sting Ray.  I loved that bike. I rode it to the mall (Bel-aire Plaza in Daytona Beach).  I went into a drug store to buy candy, and when I came out it was gone.

So, I guess a good time was had by "most".

The above letter is probably the reason Elvis sang 'Clean Up Your Own Backyard'.

Yeah... I guess he drove all the way from Indiana to Georgia to Not have a good time.

Not sure, I pulled it up on Google, but it didn't reference the location.

I think it's the one just over the border, in Rio Gallegos, Argentina.  (And it's spelled C-H-I-L-E)
