The Journey of the Antique Pedal Car

Let’s take a trip backward in time… back to the antique pedal car of the 1800’s and the early 20th century.

The design of pedal cars has followed the decades, often reflecting the romantic notions of the time about their full size counterparts; for example the 1920’s era saw heavier and larger pedal cars as consumers sought ever bigger transportation cars.

And the original desire for a long lasting pedal car, built to last 30 years or more, has now returned as there again are consumers seeking steel made pedal cars.

The most wonderful thing about these long lasting toys, even the love for the original pedal toys that are collected by individuals or museums, is that they evoke memories of our childhood. They are toys that many people remember from when they were children.

The antique pedal car is one of the few toys that is made to last, to be passed down from generation to generation.
