This collection of four fire engine-style pedal cars was acquired by the seller around 10 years ago. Built as reproductions of 1950s pedal cars, the collection includes examples by Instep and Warehouse 36, along with two produced by Gearbox. Each features red-finished pressed-steel bodywork, side-mounted wooden ladders, a windscreen surround, a ringing bell, steel wheels with solid rubber tires, chrome hubcaps, twin foot pedals, a three-spoke steering wheel, and side-body graphics. The collection is now offered by the seller with factory packaging and vintage-style fire bottles at no reserve in North Port, Florida, on a bill of sale.
