Bumping this up since it was moved.

The bike was made by Huffy and the Monark name was owned by Huffy in the 60's. I believe the serial number will tell you the year of manufacture.

Here's a girls, same carrier, chain guard, tank plaque, fender ornament. Said to be a 1967.

Purple Huffy Thunderbird (Year?) | Middleweight Bicycles

I have been collecting Huffy car bikes for decades. I have seen all purple girls Camaros, white/purple girls Camaros, and even one purple boys Camaro.

That’s a beautiful and rare bike. All correct and original 1966-67 Monark Thunderbird. 1966 was the first year for those two toned seats on the more deluxe models, and 1967 was the last year for that headlight.

This is a re-badged and re-trimmed version of the Huffy Eldorado. I have several years of Huffy catalogs uploaded to the CABE. Search my Gallery and you will find them. I even have some Monark ads.

Huffy serials in the 60s, it's the first number that's the year, eg. 5H123456 for '65.

I have been trying to determine what the bike was that I had back in the 1960s. After research, I believe it was a Monark Thunderbird (mens red), but it was not 66-67 as listed here, it was 64 or earlier. Probably one of the Huffman Monarks? Anyway I'm told I might be able to find catalogs here from the early 60s to verify. I'm new to the CABE. an anyone tell me the best way to find them here? Thanks!

@partsguy has posted several, although it's not a full set. Click on the "Media" tab in the blue header and then search for "Huffy catalog". That worked for me. It looks like there's a '55, '58, '59, '60, '63 and '66. Huffman bought Monark at the end of 1957 if memory serves.
