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.

Its embossed tho.. that's the one thing throwing me off

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.

       That pedal car is NOT embossed!

[jnapp18]

It is. I touched it

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.

the coke and 5¢ logos on the side and front are embossed?... That's a new one... never seen one in any Petretti's books or pedal car books
I still vote fantasy...

I called a pedal car dealer and he said it was a newer copy of a fities car. 1990's and worth $150

Nice but fantasy...
