Title: Old Pedal Car
Post by: kramervalentine on May 22, 2011, 12:41:31 PM

Hi folks. I've had this car in the garage for a number of years. It was in the basement when I bought my first house. I've been trying to ID over the years and can't seem to nail down what it is or what it's worth. Any info would be great.

Nice Car!  Yours has a little more "age spots" than the one sapphire referred to above.  As long as you don't have any "major" areas of rust that have truly eroded through the metal or are deeply pitted....this baby can be restored.

If you are selling...I recommend that you DO NOT do any repairs or major fix up!  Keep it original! 

Nice blast from the past!!!!!
