Murray fire chief tricycle from 1960s restoration step by step

-
Its your trike but a shame to see a nice orignal paint trike restored. I would have got some grips wiped it down and called it a day. Good luck with your restoration. V/r Shawn
I apreciate your opinion, but in my case the trike looks ok but have a lot of rust hiden all over the non visible parts, and I decided to do the restoration.

When I was growing up in the 1950s and '60s a neighbor girl had one of these Murray Fire Chief tricycles. Hers was the 16" size but otherwise identical. I still remember her riding it around and ringing the bell. Surprisingly, I even remember her name - Wendy.

Beautiful job on your Murray tricycle. Good for another generation of children to enjoy. :)
