These are OFFICIALLY LICENSED by FORD MOTOR COMPANY. It wasn't long after Henry Ford began mass-producing Model T's at the turn of the century that kids took to sidewalks in miniature pedal cars. The steel covered toys remained high on children's wish-lists until the 70's when the company stopped producing them. Just as the 1965 Mustang was a runaway hit, so was its counterpart pedal car, selling over 93,000 units by Christmas of its first year in production. Four decades later, the pedal-car with the Mustang logo is back and demand extends beyond kids, to their parents and grand-parents as well, some of whom may have owned an original. "That Mustang became one of the hottest pedal cars of all time," said Mark Bentley, Ford licensing manager "At first they were simply toys, but now adults see them as collectables. It's a nostalgia thing." Created as a promotion, Mustang Pedal Cars sold in Ford dealerships across the United States for a discount price of $12.95 The biggest difference from the original pedal car is the price. While Ford dealerships sold them at a discount, in stores, they retailed for $25. But just as the cost of the Mustang has increased ten-fold over the last 40 years, so too has the price of the pedal car which now retails for around $250. Leslie Kendall, a curator at the Petersen Auto Museum in Los Angeles, says he is not surprised by the rebirth and growing interest in pedal cars. "People are just as nostalgic about pedal cars as they are the real thing because they bring back fond memories," he said. "Besides, they're easier to maintain, don't require oil changes, and they're decorative." excerpts from article by:Michael Collins | Ford Communications Network Ford Mustangs, GT-350 Shelby Mustangs, Ford Roadsters :: Pedal Cars Our collection of Ford Mustangs, Shelby GT-350 Mustangs and Ford Roadster Pedal Cars  Shelby GT-350 Pedal Car  Mustang Pedal Car - Red  Mustang Pedal Car - Blue  1932 Flamed Roadster Pedal Car  1932 Police Cruiser  1932 Fire Truck Pedal Car  1932 Tow Truck  1932 75th Anniversary Roadster Pedal Car  1932 Pink Roadster Pedal Car
