I know #133 isn't a pedal car, but it was too funny to not post it.  ;D

Thought I'd add my recently solved Joy I pedal car to the collection.

At least the top car is a pedal car.

Does anybody know anything about this shrinked Traction Avant???

Think I should make a puzzle out of it...

And a very very old example (pre WW 1) of a french pedal car. Shot in the 1950´s:

For Richy Rich: (11 HP mower engined by Briggs & Stratton, so no pedals I'm afraid, but I liked those kiddy fops)

Pedal car?

Finished in white, the 1:1.5 scale fibreglass body bears a striking resemblance to the real thing, the interior is nicely trimmed in red leather cloth with high-backed bucket style seats for two and there is a full complement of ‘real’ features, including electric lighting, horn and indicators and a radio cassette player.  The steel chassis is of kart-type construction and the rear-mounted engine is a straightforward Briggs and Stratton unit rated at 5hp. Whilst the top speed quoted is a mere tenth of the 170 mph maximum of the original full-sized car, the cabin will accommodate teenagers or even smaller adults, at a pinch.  In very good overall  condition, this example  would appear to have had very little  use and a copy of the original sales

Are we accepting powered children's cars now?
I was considering starting a new thread when this one became quiet on powered miniature children's cars......

No don't delete the post - it's just that I have many non-pedal powered children's cars to post...... ;)
