1950s American Pedal Car Restoration - Perfect Restoration

[@mrnoggs9758]

I never comment on videos of any kind, but I feel like I need to say two things. One, the level of skill shown here is incredible. Two, I really like that it's not a clipped 15-minute video showing only highlights; the hour long is a perfect length to see and appreciate the entire restoration. Excellent work.

[@meinemechaniker]

Thank you so much sir 🙏🏻

[@robertwheeler4068]

I was born in '54...this beautiful restored car reminds me of my Dad's Buick Roadmaster! I never had one of these, but played with several kids in my neighborhood who had them...I understand that these in good original condition are very desirable to collectors! From start to finish...it is always a delight to watch a MASTER CRAFTSMAN apply his or her skills, as you certainly have done here! ❤👍

[@Louis-qi1gz]

Yes that was very impressive 👍🔧

[@Tom_Van_Zandt]

I agree, the longer video format and the lack of music allowing for the natural audio of a craftsman and his tools. This might be weird, but these videos are very ASMR-inducing for me. They are very relaxing to listen to.

This is by far the most eclectic and multi-faceted operational restoration I have ever seen you perform. I am impressed with not just your skills but, as much, with your keen knowledge of the various ways in which to accomplish the very best in restoration. Simply put.....great work at every turn...thank you for sharing.

A friend of mine bought an old metal pedal-car for his daughter. He brought it to an auto body shop and had the guy restore it. The guy used paint left over from another job he did. It came out so pretty he wouldn't let his daughter take it outside. Those old kiddie-cars held more charm than the plastic ones they make today, because they were made of real metal like Daddy's car. Wonderful job, as always.

⁠@@meinemechaniker First off you did an absolutely phenomenal job restoring that Toy car.. But I noticed only one thing wrong and I actually had to Giggle when I seen it.. I noticed you forgot the N in “Does Not have a breaking” on your warning sticker.. I promise I am not the Grammar police Shooooot I make more mistakes than that.. but I thought it was funny and cute because it now said “Does Ot have a breaking” Keep up the amazing work..

[@StalkThisBish]

Edit to add you can see @ 1:05:29 I only noticed it because my daughter was watching this video on the big screen TV and I was watching it with her.. Her and My Dad used to watch a lot of your restoration videos together.. Until we lost him almost 17 months ago.. Than out of no where tonight she asked me if I would sit and watch this one with her tonight.. It was Bitter Sweet only because that was THEIR THING to do together but at least glad she asked me if I would fill in for him because she was thinking of and missing him so much..

Thank you for the magical childhood memory of my grandfather's own restoration/reinvention of a very similar auto circa 1949-1950. Minus today's technology, all the work he did on our car was by hand. After sanding by hand and repainting by brush (silver "radiator" paint in place of chrome), he removed the twisted, broken, and partly missing pedal assembly and mounted the body onto our American Flyer sled. Come winter, we were the envy of every kid on the block as Grandpa, surely feeling as proud as the toddlers in his charge, towed them through the neighborhood for all to see. Totally enjoyed your video ..after finding it quite by accident on what otherwise would have been another lonely Thanksgiving night. Again, more than 70 years later, I can't thank you enough! (P.S. -- Hope you find the missing "horn" one day.) Ich wünsche dir viel Liebe, Glück und Frieden!

[@sallyturner8996]

I was born in ‘53. I had this exact pedal car. My daddy said I could back up and turn it around on a dime. I would drive that thing for hours. Finally all the tread came off the wheels and I got too big to sit in it, but I still tried😂 Thanks for the memories.

[@swtlisa]

Did anyone else stop and look up when Velcro was invented? It surprised me to see it used on the original seat of a 1950s toy. I thought it was a newer invention than that. It was invented in 1957, so it still would have been unusual to see it on a children’s toy back then. Maybe it was added later? Fantastic restoration, as always.

[@djmips]

This is a 1950's style pedal car but it is more recent vintage. Google pink 1950's style pedal car super sport.

After watching, I read through your notes. I liked everything about the restoration, a beautiful piece of workmanship. I'm glad you called in help when you needed it. I'm surprised you managed to actually find a manual for it. My brother and I had an old wooden pedal car, but it was so heavy, no concrete to drive it and and the grass was too thick to really get any good use out of it, other than having someone strong enough to push it. It finally fell to pieces in the 70's from the weather. Oh well... we preferred to build our own billy-carts/go-carts. Again, brilliant work, thanks for sharing it with the world.

Nice touch blurring your picture out while putting on the hub caps. Can't wait for your next video. This was awesome!
