Vintage pedal cars - your posts are wanted!

[grobmotorix]

I do know that some of you guys out there have crammed their HD´s with tons of car photos.

I´d like to start a vintage pedal car thread out here, because we had some puzzles with those kid´s dreams of our grandfather´s generation.

Today I´ve found an amazing lot of original photographs with cars and some with pedal cars at a flea market in belgium.

The four "voitures a pedales" here stem from a private photo album.
It would be great if anyone could identify the makes of those exclusive toys from the past.

And please post photos of other pedal cars here, too (old puzzles?).

Here´s another of my current puzzles:

Here are a couple that I posted previously -

Cadillac built in the UK for the young King of Siam and the Pels children's car from the Netherlands

Wow!

Thank you - the Pels looks dramatic even today...

Rather more mundane, but I still haven't managed to identify the pedal car I had as a kid. It was bought secondhand in the late 1950s. I've had it posted on oldclassiccar.com for a while, but had no response.

The first reaction when people see it is that it's probably a Triang, but I've never seen another one of this design. Any ideas?

This boy must have produced some impressive wheelies with this short-wheeled marvel, sitting directly over the rear axle

One of my aunts in PA had a pair of pedal cars ... I so enjoyed visiting that aunt!  lol

I drove this one. Didn't make any photos of my own, though, so here is the eBay one.

Here are few pedal cars I shot in 2008 at the oldtimer exhibition.

The Bugatti is a real Type 52, I suppose, but probably already electric, not pedal as it was initially.

@faksta:

I really like those Moskvich pedal cars. I think I have a magazine essay about the production of those somewhere in my collection.
I recall that they have been assembled by hand in  the same factory where the real scale Moskviches have been built, too.
