A look at the history and popularity of pedal cars
By [Your Name]
The UK's Lines Bros. offered its customers 30 pedal cars in its 1937-38 catalog, from the basic Prince which sold for £3 12s 6d to the top-of-the-range Royal Mail Van at £10 10s 0d. These pedal cars were popular with children of all ages, and many of them have survived to this day, becoming valuable collectors' items.
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in pedal cars, as more and more people are discovering the joy of owning and riding these classic toys. Pedal cars are now available in a wide variety of styles and sizes, from replicas of vintage models to modern, high-performance cars. They are also becoming increasingly popular as a form of exercise, as they provide a low-impact workout that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
If you are interested in learning more about pedal cars, there are a number of resources available online. The Pedal Car Club of America (PCCA) is a great place to start, as it offers a wealth of information on all aspects of pedal car collecting and restoration. You can also find a number of pedal car forums and websites where you can connect with other enthusiasts and learn more about these fascinating toys.
