We found this 1947 Hawthorne Cruiser in pretty good shape on Craigslist and started to fix it. We realized that the chainwheel was not original, and found an old school one from our spare parts bank, which fits perfectly (not pictured here). The chainguard is missing to, and we found one on ebay from a prewar Hawthorne, which will need some modification to be installed.
6th grader RK is removing the rust from the rims to bring back out the original chrome.
