Nice looking bike! Cleaned up well. What did you use o the surface rust? Also, if you decide to sell that seat I am interested. It looks closer the one that should be on my early 60’s Firestone Silver Cruiser.

Here's my Highway Patrol ballooner from the ad I saw when I bought it. I've added a correct tank and rack.

What year is this bike? I have one very similar and I can not get a positive 100% ID of year and Model. I "believe" mine is a 1950 Hi-Way Patrol.
Thank you.

1957, if you have the serial number there is a chart to determine year. Attached photo shows it with correct rack and tank.

The chart that I came across (Cardiff Bike Shop) shows this serial number was for 1967. I may have the wrong chart or may be reading it wrong.
Thanks again
