The owner of this unusual jeep kit from Western Auto would like more information. Anyone ever seen or remember one of these? I spent some time trolling through “western auto” ads from past years on eBay, but didn’t have any luck
Here is a collection of scanned Western Auto ads on Flickr, but no jeep like the one below.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was price at $700.
Colin has this body for sale. He will sell the mini Jeep body for what he paid for it, which is about 2/3 of what they sell for now. He also have the single seat it came with.
Paul found this toy for sale. This appears to be missing the steering wheel and the windshield.
“Jeep pedal Car – A childs 1950’s example in original orange livery with repainted wheels – missing parts but with spare wheel and jerry can holder to rear.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $750.
This is a restored model jeep of some type. I just looked to see if I have plans for this one, but I didn’t find any.
“Hello, I am selling a very unique pedal jeep. It was built in the late 50’s by a craftsman/machinist, partly from scratch and partly using other pedal car parts, which makes it almost like folk art. Has steel and wood body parts, All wood parts are new (but follow original pattern) and has new wheels w/ball bearings. It has a suspension which is unusual for a pedal car, chain drive, and steering via steering gear box which is also rare and unusual. I have not found one like it ANYWHERE, it has been restored in an army jeep theme. Come check it out in person! Would be a really great addition for a collector looking for rare pedal cars, this is more rare than a Garton.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
I’ve seen photos of the Hamilton Surrey Pedal Jeep (mid page ad here) on the CJ-3B Page, but I hadn’t previously seen a Garton version (see info about Garton here).
