Paying tribute to a friend first, who later became our custom painter and striper.

Missed greatly by family, friends and the many hot rodders who knew him, or at least knew of him.
A jovial and kind man, he loved pin striping anything and everything.
This includes over 200 pedal cars for our customers. As well as toilet seats, mailboxes, garbage cans and coolers for classic and hot rods.
KEEP YOUR FLAME LIT! "GATOR"
Quote from his loving wife Brenda of 44 years...
"His flame may have been dimmed but I refuse to believe that his family and friends will ever let it go out."

History of the Pedal Car
No matter what point in history you are looking at, you will find kids at play. More often than not, their favorite activities involve imitating the adults around them. It's not a surprise when a child wants to bake a cake, do laundry, or pick up a briefcase and go to work, but there is nothing more charming than seeing a small child get into a tiny car and pedal away! The pedal car has been a staple as a toy for young children for ages, but where did they get their beginning and how did they become so popular?

In books of course! Read many stories, see old ads, and of course many, many photos of vintage pedal cars, trucks, boats, etc.

Detroit's Famed Autorama
Ok so we're never had a classic car win first at Autorama BUT...a little pedal car with realistic picnic display, took 1st place with a trophy! Our display sitting beside a friend's full size classic car sporting a similar paint job. Take a peak at our bright yellow, supercharged engine with blower (flamed fabric skirt on table).

Why
the black background?
Since the beginning we wanted
to be unique and we achieved this with our innovative ideas for "Pretty'n Pink" on sedans, Hot Rodder Pedal Cars and of course our Customs, or Kustoms if you prefer.
Now, through personal experience, we have discovered that the contrast is user friendly to the sight impaired.
You can print out any of our website pages on standard white paper.Imagines and text will show up because the black will not print,
so no wasted ink. |
