Looks like either a old pedal car painted and they stuck decals on it - or - there was a repro pedal car made a few years back
with Coca-Cola paint theme like that, that pulled a small wagon with a repro lowboy cooler in it....
I'd pass... I vote fantasy Coke piece.

I am pretty sure Coca-Cola has never made a pedal car, if that is what you are drawn to.
I have collected 35 years and have yet to see and official Coca-Cola...
Bicycle
Cash register
Gumball machine
refrigerator
pinball machine
Be that said...their *might* have been bicycles made up by an individual
BOTTLER as a promo giveaway. I ask for promotional materials before i would buy it, sort of like a "certificate of authenticity". Anything else has a sticker/painted logo to increase value.
Be very leary of gumball machines painted up to look like ANY soda or gasoline or other advertising item.
Soda companies did not advertise on gumball machines. Seems silly to me. Coca-Cola did have their name on gum in the early 1900s but it was made by the Franklin Caro Co. which was eventually bought out by Coca-Cola and taken off the market. These gum items are highly sought after and very valuable.

It looks to be a fifties pedal car so I would think it would be worth $300. Any fifties pedal car is worth that much. I would buy it if I found it.

If the one in the article is from the 1990's (and I have no doubt that he's right), it is in pretty rough shape. I can't imagine it would be worth $150 then. Maybe in the shape as the one above. ^

These repros rust pretty easy I bought a taxi for my son at auction and the hood ornament had pits in it... a friend has a plane that someone gave them for their kid it sat outside a couple times in the rain and has rust all over it the chrome is cheap.. the bodies are nice and powdercoated but don't hold up to the wear and tear of a 3 year old.
