Early 1950’s Hawthorne Ladies Cruiser

Found in great condition, with little rust on the bright shiny green paint! The bars and stem are far gone and will need re-chroming, along with most all of the metal parts. ALL original parts down to the headlight lens and tires. What a gem!

Editors note: This bike was made during the Korean war when there were restrictions on on the use of precious metals (those used in the chrome plating process). Most of the parts on this bike that would have normally been chrome plated, are instead cadmium plated. Thus, the dull gray look.
