Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: Eric on August 18, 2011, 01:31:05 pm 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. Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: jnapp18 on August 18, 2011, 01:32:35 pm Its embossed tho.. that's the one thing throwing me off
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: pinballdude on August 18, 2011, 01:32:55 pm 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. Terry Buchheit Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: MoonDawg on August 18, 2011, 01:53:51 pm That pedal car is NOT embossed!
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: jnapp18 on August 18, 2011, 02:06:33 pm It is. I touched it
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: oscar on August 18, 2011, 02:11:34 pm 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.
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: Eric on August 18, 2011, 02:47:40 pm the coke and 5ยข 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... Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: oscar on August 18, 2011, 02:53:52 pm I called a pedal car dealer and he said it was a newer copy of a fities car. 1990's and worth $150
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: Eric on August 18, 2011, 03:00:32 pm Nice but fantasy...
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: halehouse on August 18, 2011, 03:31:54 pm 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. ^
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: Eric on August 18, 2011, 05:34:39 pm 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.
Title: Re: need fast response. pedal car Post by: jnapp18 on August 18, 2011, 05:35:40 pm I appreciate all the help everyone. It was not a murray truck, so it was not old. Thanks for not letting me but somethin for waayyyy toooo much
