Those bumpers cars were working and were money makers. I and probably Larry (mills 400) rode in them many times as kids. I also as an adult with our kids. They were from the old KIddie Land in melrose park, Il. The other carousel they have for sale was also from kiddie land.

The park was closed down due to a family dispute, one half owned the park, the other half owned the land. Costco made them a huge offer on the land which the park owners could not match
