As far as I can tell from the smallish picture, it's a 50's Monark. I'd say you got a good buy, I hope you don't plan to part it out or refinish it.

I would guess late 40s or early 50s Monark built Super Cruiser. I have a 52 model. Yours is nice. Not sure if it would have had the pedestal light or the train light. I have seen nice completes anywhere from $700 up to $1100 on ebay

The gentlemen said it had a pedestal light that the cloth wiring went to the tank.

Great looking bike, nice that you got it and are showin' it some love

I am betting this is a 1948 based on the headbadge, rear rack and chainguard graphics.
