Help Identifying my Dad's JC Higgins

Can anyone help me identify the year of my Dad's JC Higgins and provide any info based on the serial number? The following is the serial number and I attached some pictures.

MOS-Q

1951? Not a Murray expert! Bike looks to have been (partially?) restored at some point and lost original seat. V/r Shawn

Looks like a Colorflow?

Shawn, thanks for the info. Which part of the serial identifies it as a '51? Yes, I believe it is a Colorflow.

I think the Q in the letter sequence would be what designates the year. Here's a chart that I grabbed.

Great looking bike!
