Pedal cars remain a symbol of childhood independence, a time when life's biggest achievement was pedaling to the end of the block. The first pedal cars followed on the heels of the automobile's introduction to the American public early in this century. As the years rolled on, increasingly complex models appeared on the market, some with headlights, starting cranks, and horns. By 1919, fire trucks became available in the same boxy, open-wheeled style of the earlier pedal cars.
The Sad-Face Fire Truck, inspired by the "sad faces" of the 1949 Packard grill and first introduced in the 1950s, is a superbly-crafted, one-piece all-metal vehicle that zooms along on sturdy, treaded, solid rubber, white-wall tires. It features a padded seat, functional chrome steering wheel, and chrome bell. The dazzling red body and undergear are finished in chip and rust resistant, child safe, non-toxic powder coating, and the insignias are painted white. Just like the originals, it's made of heavy gauge steel and is ready for hours of play. Real wooden ladders rest on high hoop, grab bars. Built beefy, to last, the body is 45.5" long and 15.6" wide. Adjustable pedals. Recommended ages 2 to 7 years old. NOTE: Ground shipping only.
