Classic Pedal Cars from a bygone era. It didn’t take long after the rise of the automobile for children to take to the pavements in cars of their own. In the 1890s the first pedal cars were scratch-built from parts found lying around. As the car became a plaything of the rich by the turn of the century, so too the pedal car became an exquisite, commercially-built toy. Sheet steel covered the pedal car’s wood frame, and full-size carriage lights, starting cranks, and licence plates furnished the pedal car's trim. The pedal cars of the 1920s gave way to larger and heavier pedal cars in the 1930s, with chrome hubcaps and prominent ornaments, reflecting the decade’s romance with speed. By the 1970s, a declining birth rate, high inflation, and the increased use of plastic body shells sealed the fate of the metal, old-style pedal car. Here we present range of high-quality metal-bodied pedal cars, each one based on original pedalcar designs, guaranteed to become a lasting fond childhood memory. Each pedal car is built to a very high standard, and certain not to disappoint!. All our pedal cars are CE European quality standard approved.
