1935 Garton Pontiac Fire Chief Car? My dad bought this car from a 75 year old woman that got it from her dad who received it for his 6th birthday and he always kept it inside the barn. It's all complete, looks like everything is there but we're not sure what year and model it is. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Does anybody know the value of one of these?

Kinda sorta looks like a Garton Fire Car #5761 to me. PedalCar.net is a good place to help ID it.
This is awsome!
I bet if you had it appraised you'd be acting like that little kid that got it when he was 6.....
I see these things at the AACA meet at Hershey Pa every Oct.They bring more than some full size cars!.Original patina is a plus obviously.
Everyone that comes in and sees this pedal car absolutely drools over it. I've never seen another one like it.
That bell is like a beacon, telling you to hold on to this. It is a real treasure.
Don't restore. It's a gem!!
LOVE YOUR CAR? I WANT IT?
