Kathy your bike is in the late 1980's or 90's when the cruiser fad was in. Nominal value 100 or less.

Thank you!

Here is some info I learned while researching mine. 1950 had the first type of Springer, had metal emblems on the rack, and no jewels on the tank, just portholes, from what I could find. Mine is 1951, and has the second Springer, but still has metal emblems on the rack, but jewels in the tank, so maybe mine was a transition year? Not sure when Regal Deluxe took over for Color Flow, but mine says Color Flow on the chain guard, not the tank, like in the later years. Not sure if all this is 100% accurate, but it's what I could figure out.

heres the bike finally got pics ! anyone know the year or value ?

On the underside of the bottom bracket(where the crank and pedals attach) of the frame, there should be some letters and numbers stamped. Look for MO_. The last letter denotes the year. Example; mine is MOQ, and Q is 1951. R would be 1952, and so on. Cool bike. I have most of one just like it. Lol.
Ride on,
