Not a pedal car, but a working miniature automobile was this magnificent creation.
I found it in a silent news movie about Berlin in the year 1933.
Those are some screenshots.
This tiny car even had a licence plate "IA-35721" "IA = Berlin)
Has anybody seen this before ? - I´d like to find out the builder.

Matches a Jeep with dumper I saw today in the Industriemuseum Chemnitz. The dumper Jeep was built by the Werner Bächtiger KG from Dessau between 1965 and 1975.

What a cool toy - funny that they built US-Jeeps in the GDR...

In deep Cold War, the Russian Moskvich factory produced masses of shrunken pedal cars,
that were heavily inspired by the "Bullet-nose" Studebaker Champion,
a Raymond Loewy design.
