Great pedal car! I've got one very similar, it's a Kidillac from the early 60's.
I looked through all your items and LOVE every one of them. You & I collect the same kind of things....I just wish I had started collecting 50's stuff when I was your age.
....ooops! That should read "the early 50's" not 60's
Thanks for your comment, the kidillac pedal car is for me the best pedal car ever produced, I found this one more than a years ago and it's the only american pedal car I saw in Belgium in 2 years
I updated a photo, I finally bought the 4 tires on the internet and received them last week from "cowboys and kidillac", it's more complete now
your kidillac is really great, I really love it, and the philco speaker is outstanding
Great job ,really is, and please dont take offense but some white pinstripe down both sides would knock it out of the park. I guess I watch toooo much American Restoration on the History channel. Again great job ! !
