    Is the plate lying on the frame a gas pedal? It also has a W on it. Gary

    Correct. The plate is the gas pedal. I've seen photos of old midgets (50's/60's) with the W on the front bumper and I just can't figure out who made them. I figured it would be a popular name like Moss, Kurtis, or someone.

    West Craft?
    Werner little champ?
    wahlborg?

    but ive seen pictures of what i thought was a hagemann with a W on the front push bar..

    Not really sure but you could look up those names and see if any of them fit

    here is a thread to dig thru
    http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=567895

    there were a ton of builders..not sure if the W is significant as much as the style of the frame and body are

  10. Yea I was going to say that I didn't have a name but I am sure it is one of the Munchkins.

    A while back I saw something about a race car with a W in the nerf bar. I don't remember where it was, maybe Ryan knows. I am thinking that it was one of his blogs.

    Wentz comes to mind but that no doubt means absolutely nothing.

    Wahlborg it is. Do these have value? What would you say based on the condition as pictured in post #6? What about fully restored?
