Scored this 50s 60s Western Flyer Strato Flyer from cl today. It's pretty complete and even has all of the light lenses.

These are cool bikes.
Be sure to correctly remount the tailight on the rear rack.
The lens unscrews and the base canister is positioned through the hole from the underside. The lens is screwed on from the top of the rack.
And to find the front headlight lenses is rare.
Nice project!

It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought that rack light looked higher than the one I had on the Murray Ranger a couple of years ago. http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/in...celiner-ladies-chrome-sold.76597/#post-744139
 
You can see on the rack the OG paint that was hidden under a GO NAVY sticker. I think the tank and rack paint will come out well. If you look at the left side of the tank, you can see a small area where the seller rubbed out the surface rust to uncover the color. The chrome should clean up well too.
