Restoring an old Monark

[GTs58]

I forgot to add that my dad told me he repainted the bike himself when he was younger, including the rims. He said the bike was originally blue rims were originally chrome plated.

Here's a picture I found online of what I think my Dad's bike MIGHT have looked like had he (or someone else) not made all the changes to it:

Looks like you are. Lots of 47's past on here. For other pictures do a search using the tool bar at the top of the page, Image Search.

So you think this is a '47 model? What is the difference between a'46 and '47 Monark? Would this be a Super Deluxe, or some other model?

I hope this ends with a "Thanks for all your help, guys."

In the past I’ve welded broken welds at the bottom bracket from the inside so it’s cleaner. Those Monarks have cheap welds down there.
