SLP5357 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm hoping some pedal car enthusiasts on the forum can help me identify this pedal car. My wife's uncle acquired it from another family member and he wants to restore it. We found the original dark blue paint on the underside, and he's pretty sure the trim was originally white. He thinks it was purchased new around 1949-1951. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Steve Poulos (Pittsburgh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think it is a BMC, which sold to AMF at some point. Looks a lot like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TsandAs Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 The pedal car is a BMC Sportster nicknamed a "Fishmouth" after its open mouthed grill. It was introduced I believe in 1952 and manufactured well into the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLP5357 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Tom - thanks so much - I'll pass this on to my wife's uncle. I've found a couple websites that have restoration parts for pedal cars and I'll probablyget involved in the restoration. (just what I need - more projects!) Thanks again for the info...
