Hi yes it is nice still orig paint with name.Just use sos with a little dish soap on crome parts.On painted area be very careful because you dont want to remove paint.So use a softer cloth rag with little dish soap.Thn after its dry real good then wipe down with a little wd 4o.It looks like it will shine up good.Collectors want them original.
If I'm not mistaken these were made by Monark... Is this a 24" bike? I'd replace the seat.
When you do replace the seat try to get a vintage one (E-Bay or Craigs list) if not there then some dealers specialize in these... it will be worth it. also keep the original seat with the bike... new tires and tubes would be nice, ride and enjoy, that's bikes are for.
That bike is Sweet.!! It will clean up very easy it looks like. You can use evaporust on the chrome. You can also use wood bleach/ oxcylic acid to clean the chrome and paint. You mix it 2 teaspoons to 5 gallons. You can mix a big tub and soak the parts. It does not hurt the paint. Do not put painted parts in the evaporust. The handlebars will be the worst but you could find better ones easy on ebay or CL. The seat you can either replace or recover easy also. I am no expert but I am guessing $300 to $500 the way it sits.
i just picked up same bike same condition think few yrs older with original head light long head light
