Pedal car barn find... Can you identify.

Stopped by a garage sale yesterday on my way back home from a local car show. Guy had some old gas pumps and vintage coke machines. Then i saw this pedal car hanging in his tree. Grabbed some old signs, oil cans, and asked about the pedal car and he practically threw it in for free.

I've never been into the pedal car hobby. Think rebuilding it would be a fun little project to keep me busy through the winter. Can anyone give me any info on it. Year, make, model?

Just curious,
Darrel

 

don't know year or anything but I know it is bad***!

 

Dam that is cool! I have no clue which one it is, but it is cool!

 

SPEEDWAY has pedal car stuff. I can't remember they year on yours, but it's cool.

Here's your car. Midwest industries Studebaker sportster

 

Midwest Industries Studebaker pedal car, circa 1956. There's one for sale on eBay, item 120373889366

 

Excellent! Looks like a got a deal. Any idea of how many of these were actually made. Mine is a little different than the one on ebay. Mine has a rounded trunk, it's not stepped in.

Should be a fun restoration project.
