hello

i have come across an old jcpennys "foremost" girls cruiser.....it has all the original parts, including the gas tank, luggage rack and tuck and roll seat..chrome is in very good shape, and paint is weathered but not perfect......i'm having a hard time finding out much about this sweet little ride...any info you could share would be greatly appreciated...
thanks

It will be hard to get any useful information on a department store bike. Use polishing compound on that paint, and it will probably shine.

The oldroads people will try and tell you that your bike is worth $10,000 absolutely worthless site for getting values.

Foremost was a brand name J.C. Penney applied to their bikes, they sourced bikes from many different manufacturers both domestic and foreign. If you can get a picture of the bike, it may be identifiable though.
