Great grandson with a pedal car my son-in -law found the other day. Reminds me of Lil Rascals comedy series.Maybe a new Hotrodder!
THX all-the little guy loves that pedal car!! It's old etc and maybe we should get him a new repo one to play with and ride.
Great pic! He's off to a great start. That looks like a 1920s Steelcraft and the Cadillac 8 script on the grill is not original to the car and has been added.......which means it's been hot rodded.
It is a Sidway Topliff pedal car--found identical ones on the internet with Cadillac 8 on grill. Suspect late 20's early 30's It says Sidway Topliff on the dash board and motometer as well.
Here's one he can play with now. It's called the Micky Mouse Roadster. But he will need to de-mouse it. { Great Photo! } You should post it on the F.A.S. thread too! Thanks Ron........
In 20 yrs he'll wonder how his love for hot rods all started, then a single look at this pic and he will know the answer immediately. Cool pic, 8x10 wall hanger right there.
Thats a great picture and defiantly worth saving and recreating when he is much older with a real hot rod of his own. When he gets a little bigger you can find a hot rod go kart. My grandfather found this 1/4 scale 34 Ford roadster for me when I was a toddler, had it painted to match his show truck at the time and it was my job to make sure is was always clean and spotless for shows as it went the show truck to every show.
If he had been wearing a different hat, you could have posted that picture on Vintage Shots of Days Gone by, and no one would have been the wiser . Perfect picture !
