Murray StratoFlite 1960?

[Phiredog]

Picked this Murray up today from a roadside vendor while driving home from the disc golf course. If I'm reading the serial number right, it's a 1960 model. The rear rack has been painted over. It has the Delta tank light, front rack, Komet super rear hub, and Troxel seat. Now, what do I do with it?

That's what caught my eye off the bat. The chrome is in super shape. Will be tearing into it today to see how it looks inside. Out of curiosity, would the rear rack have had a red cover over the bulb?

Ha! I may need to fumigate it. Thinking I'll just tear all the padding off. Then again, I may just leave it.

If it's the kind I think it is they are easy to re-upholster. Just like 3 bolts and the two pans will separate, then a little old carpet padding scraps and some vinyl or leather and it'd be good as new. Or go custom and use mexican blanket, or old t-shirt or just paint the pan.

Thanks for the ideas! I'll check in the morning to see how it's put together.

The tank and lights are oh so close to my 1959 Golden Flyer.
