    I will look into that, thanks!
     
  2. Stephanie it's probably cheaper to buy a repro car than just the parts. But that would also make a great little stroller for him. Just add a wagon tongue, and a bottom. I've had a lot more fun, and miles by doing that with this one. Both of my kids , and my four grandkids have used it. :)Ron.... 20171229_120955.jpg 20171017_164918(0).jpg

    Thanks for the input! I think I found a steering wheel that will work, just waiting till I can get.the funds together and order. But I will definitely keep the idea in mind!

    Someone gave us 3 old petal cars a few years ago. One was a boat. We carried them to a car show with other car parts to sell at the flee market. These 3 petal cars were sold as soon as we pulled into our spaces. Had no idea they were so popular.

    Is it a legit pedal car? steering, pedals, etc?
    It reminds me of something that I saw at an amusement park ride.
    Very cool

    That's a really cool Junior Tractor! It's a 1948-49 BMC (Binghamton {NY} Manufacturing Corp.). BMC made pedal cars & tractors from 1948 until 1954, when they were bought by AMF. These Tractors were the first riding toys that BMC made.:cool:

    They came with little trailers too but I haven’t seen one yet. If i can find a set of wheels it might be fun to weld one up.

  29. Great finds CITROENANTIQUES. I restored this one for my daughter 30 years ago. It was a rusted basket case. This photo was on my P.C. The second one I just took the other day. It is of her daughter Ruthie. But it's still on my phone. So the double post?:p 426.jpg
