I found this beauty at an antique show. I saw it from across the room and just had to have it. The gentleman that I purchased it from said he dug it out of an attic and it had 1/4 inch of dust on it.
The paint and decals are all original. No rust whatsoever. A few dents and scratches but all in all it's in really good shape.
I am trying to find the year and a model number, or the name of the car, so I can locate the part that's missing on the hood. It is chain driven, the maker is Murray and the logo on the side says Ranchero. I did an internet search but cannot find anything. If anyone knows any information on this or what it might be worth, please let me know. Thanks!

I have found one in my grandparents's attic. When I found it, I started to do some research and found out that it is a Murray Ranchero 1958 pedal car, which we kind of already know. But, anyway, I can not find anything either except for what I said. I, too, need the part for the hood and mine is missing a pedal. I have found three parts that would be for the hood, but they were all sold on ebay. I would also like to have some more information on this piece if anyone could help.
