Dosmo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Wondering about the year and manufacturer of this pedal car. Reckon it's supposed to resemble a Buick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Looks to be a Steelcraft Buick, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass is Best Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It is a mid 1920's American National Pedal Car. Built to resemble a Packard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinneyhill Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It looks like a posed photo. The house looks sterile... Here is what Christies said about a similar car. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot_details.aspx?intobjectid=1437392 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Looks like a Buick to me with the "widow's peak" top inner radiator shell. Packard's didn't have the Widow's peak. That radio is an 1931 Atwater-Kent, model 84, AM receiver. Left knob- on-off, center knob dial, right knob volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called it a Packard. Although it dose resemble a Buick. Wasn't there a lawsuit between Packard and Buick over the grill shell design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete K. Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I did read that a lawsuit existed, I thought it may have been between Buick and Marmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I thought the lawsuit was Packard against Buick and Studebaker who's 24 Special six had the Packard shape to the radiator too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I could find was Rolls Royce against a company marketing clip-on front kits to put a RR-style grill on a VW Beetle, in 2015. I am not sure you can trademark a radiator shape very easily. I heard years ago that Vauxhall sued Chrysler in about 1930 over the flutes in the bonnet=hood, but is it true or scuttlebutt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncandres Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 The wheels on the pedal car in the original photo in this post were not introduced until 1928 and prevailed into the 1929 line up as well. So I will throw my $.02 in and say 1928 American National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
