Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I'd like to invite anyone who has pictures or knowledge of Buick pedal cars and go carts to post them here. Here is an old Spear and Co ad. I enlarged it so one could read the great "FUN" description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Is this a Spear & Co. Also, Rita and I are in disagreement as to the gender of the little person in it.? She says it a boy. She's probably right as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 This picture was taken by Robertas seester in Batavia. Looks a lot like the Spear & Co car. Does anyone know who had this car there, was it for sale, how much. I hope to have a need for one of these someday...read Grandkid(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Lamar,I'm on the planning committee for the 2006 Nationals in Rochester MN and if I'm not mistaken, the lubester display case and the pedal car are a couple of the prizes you can win in the raffle. I actually have not seen them myself, but I know they were being taken to Batavia for display purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I didn't look at them, but seeing the pic, my seester took, I would say they were located very near where the folks were set up promoting the event, so Tom, is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 And here are some that were in a previous thread but were lost in the "New" Forum. This first one is my absolute favorite. I just love how lil sis seems to be HOLDIN ON for dear life. and check out the rope and stick steering. and oh yea how about the sight distance. I often wonder how many of these kids grew up to own Buicks and perhaps still do. It will make my day when someone comes on and says "hey that's ME" seems the lil bmp still wants to give trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know my 30's Buicks that well to distinguish if it is indeed a Buick or other make. Whadayathink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_MrEarl Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 This is one of the nicest I have seen. The little girls are precious. This is currently on eBay and in fairness to the ebay sellers, I always bid on what I borrow, but this one is getting out of my league. see what I mean also, if you can't see the full length of the photo, try hitting the F11 key, it works on my puter.hit again to get back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I'm just now responding to your post, I just had time to check out the site you referenced.I believe these 59/60 Buick "go-carts" might belong to our own Greg Cockerill.

Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 One of the nicest original examples of a Buick pedal car I've ever seen, on eBay or anywhere else. . 1921 Buick Roadster PC on Ebay The ebay description: I purchased this old original pedal car this year from a 91 year old gentlemen who received it for Christmas back in 1921 when he was five years old. He is still alive and well and will document that this toy was in his possession for 70 years and had been put away in the family attic for over 60 years. This old roadster has amazing original paint with gorgeous original patina as seen in the photos. Note the old hand brake, real glass headlights, hood ornament, license plate and original brass mfg tag. A wonderful all original time capsule and perfect for a Buick or pedal car collector. Displays very high grade original in real life. Made of painted metal and measures 24” wide x 38” long x 21” high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Very nice...I wonder if the 91 year old got a fair price for it...I've bought two full size Buicks for less than the bidding is at now and if it goes much higher, it will be 3.

Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Is this what I think it is. A vintage 1921 CUPHOLDER? I've alwaus wondered who had the first cupholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Final sale price for the little '21 Buick (with cupholder).... $4,200 or would that have more than likely been an oil can holder. Didn't a lot of early cars have those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_MrEarl Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 here I go again, replying to another one of my own posts. I don't care, I love these little pedal cars and I suspect there's at least one other out there that does too. never had one of my own, had to build my own. My toes still hurt every time I think about when they got caught in the spokes of the tricycle wheel I had on the front axle. Maybe some day I'll have grand children. Why? so I can warn them to keep there toes outa the spokes, is why. What, you thought I was gonna BUY them one of these eBay cars.he he On Ebay Now For when the ebay auction is gone: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 For what it went for, you shouldn't need to pedal it nor watch for your toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't a lot of early cars have those?" Yes sir-ry Mr. Earl, my 1915 C-36 has an oil can holder and it was factory equiped that way as seen in the parts book under the tool section. Gotta keep those open overhead valves oiled. The reference Book says between 50 and 100 miles depending on how sever the road conditions are!Thank God that we no longer have to deal with these early high maintanance autos in our everyday lives today.

serb Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Mark,Do you know how our neighboring (or in Canadian <span style="font-weight: bold">neighbouring</span>) country to the North got it's name?It seems that they held a contest to see which school child would name the country. After picking a child from grade 6, they decided to put all of the letters of the alphabet into a drum, pick them out one at a time and then name the country from those letters.The child drew the first letter and proudly proclaimed "C" eh, then "N" eh, then "D" eh, hence the country was named CANADA. C....<span style="font-weight: bold">A</span>....N.....<span style="font-weight: bold">A</span>.....D.....<span style="font-weight: bold">A</span>I can tell these types of jokes since all three of my children were born in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada.Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Thriller Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Gee Whiz...what you get for trying to keep the language reasonable on a forum that has some younger members....Mark - you may not have looked around much...I was one of the last to leave the banquet hall, unless you turned up after absolutely everyone was gone. I did get the chance to introduce Lamar to Tad though so that everyone knew Past-President Paul's message about the drooling Georgian.The name Canada is derived from an eastern aboriginal word for village or community.The biggest problem with spelling words properly (like neighbour) is that generic spell checkers use the simplified American spelling of everything...things like Word are OK since you can specify languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I know who Columbus was, but don't know much about the holiday....Mark - I pretty much have to use the word American...if I used Yanks or Yankees, then Lamar and some of the other good ol' boys down south would get in a tizzy Darn it all.
