      Congrats on this little gem. I believe it is a 1930's Garton pedal car. You can see a restored one here:

      Notice the two holes on each side where the windshield used to be fixed to.

      Thanks to all who made comments. I finally found it is a 1937 Garton Ford. I do not know if I restore it or leave it as it is. What do you think? Luis

      This has great patina!! Don't repaint it. I would try to find the correct wheels, windshield and other missing parts, but preserve the original finish and character.

      Thanks rocker-sd. Where can I find the missing parts?
    11. rocker-sd rocker-sd, 11 years ago
      Here's one option

      Another would be to post a permanent search on ebay for "garton pedal car" and wait for a parts car to show up. With patience you might find some used parts that have similar patina. Neither option will be cheap.
