In my never-ending search of cool pedal cars, I came across this USAF 82412 Jeep pedal car. The numbers, letters and logos are all painted on. The windshield folds down and it's pedal-driven. My research reveals that it may be made by Garton circa early-'60's? Overall, the car is in really nice shape.
If anyone could offer any more info, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
