    Beautiful Correctly restored 1955 Kidillac Chain Drive Pedal Car. Never damaged or rusted since new. GORGEOUS CAR. The 50-59 Kidillac resembles a 1948-56 Cadillac).  This is the Top of the line model.  Professionally restored 1993. 100% Complete. All Solid Steel. A Kidillac was a Harley Earl design BEFORE the real Cadillac could have a flat hood. The 1948 through 1956 Cadillac had to have a hump hood to accommodate the motor. The real Cadillac with the hood and fenders being level was not until 1957. Garton showed Harley Earls Design Teams futuristic Kidillac hood design off way before in 1950 at the NY Warldorf Astoria Toy Extravaganza Show on Park Avenue. A Kidillac is different in that a Kidillac can NOT be reproduced in steel as other pedal cars can. This is because it is an amazing stamping out of only ONE piece of very heavy gauge steel with the beautiful anatomically correct seat welded in place. Could be done but the cost would be in the millions, not gonna happen. Kidillac is a very important example of AMERICANA. Presently Kidillacs are very very undervalued, this will change soon, so very rich in Automotive history. Harley Earl was a Great Automobile designer and Kidillac reflects all of that and more with a look 7 years into the future of automotive design. Kidillac did not have the restriction of accommodating a motor so the level hood and fender design was set free then in 1949. The pedal car market, like all markets, has exceptions to every rule and Kidillac proves such. Weighs about 35 pounds. Fantastic Display causes excitement and smiles anywhere. Gorgeous living room or Business display. The Automotive history the Kidillac pedal car represents is huge, you heard it here first.  Shipping is buyers responsibility, however I will do all to accommodate and help with such.
