Kids’ ride on toys are great purchases even if you don’t have any children. These high-quality collectors items can bring a little nostalgia to your life. Adorable cars, they are often modeled after real-life automobiles, yet of course are much less expensive to purchase than their full-sized counterparts. Here’s why you should buy a kids’ pedal car:
Usable gifts - If you grew up in the 1950s or 1960s, chances are good that one Christmas, you wished for a shiny new pedal car to appear under the tree. Whether you got your wish or not, wouldn’t you love to give the same thing to your children or grandchildren? Pedal cars make great gifts for the children in your life. Instead of purchasing one of today’s plastic models, buy the kids in your life a real steel pedal car, either a true vintage car or a reproduction. Steel pedal cars will stand the test of time, lasting for generations, unlike today’s plastic styles that break easily.
Nostalgia - Kids’ pedal cars have a rich history dating back almost to the beginning of the automobile industry, though the ones you probably remember are the steel and chrome styles popular during the 1950s and 1960s. These nostalgic toys make great display pieces or gifts for children. If you give your children or grandkids a pedal car, you may experience a great sense of nostalgia watching the new generation ride down the sidewalks in a pedal car, just as you did as a young child. These beautiful toys can take you on a trip down memory lane.
Projects - Are you looking for a fun hobby? Try restoring a pedal car! Pedal car collectors lovingly restore these vintage ride-on toys, installing working horns and lights, repainting the car in its original shiny red, blue, or green finish, and repairing the chrome bumpers. Auto enthusiasts or toy collectors invest hundreds of hours restoring a vintage model. This project will bring back great memories, especially if you choose a style that looks just like the pedal car you had as a child.
Car Enthusiasts - Pedal cars from the 1950s and 1960s were often exact replicas of the full-sized cars these children’s parents were driving. In fact, their detailing was often exact, down to the Mustang emblem on the front grill. If you love the Model T or the 1965 Mustang, why wouldn’t you want a pedal-car version of it? Purchasing the pedal car size of your favorite collector car is a much more affordable purchase than a fully restored vintage car, and you don’t need a full garage space for it, either. You can have a full garage or living room full of your favorite cars for a fraction of the cost of their full-size counterparts.
Collectibles - Restored pedal cars are true collectors items that will only increase in value, year after year. Auto enthusiasts or those who love vintage toys collect vintage pedal cars because they recognize the value in them, both as displays and as an investment. With their exquisite detailing and shiny finish, pedal cars make a great display piece that will increase in value the longer you display it. Did you know that some vintage pedal cars can be worth as much as $2,000 to a collector?
Purchasing a kids’ pedal car is the perfect way to become part of a rich history, whether your pedal car is meant as a nostalgic display or is destined to be a gift for your children or grandchildren. These toys and collectibles can be passed from generation to generation thanks to their durable all-steel construction, so you can witness the joy of several generations riding the same pedal car.
