When I bought a mustang pedal car for my son Steven`s birthday, I knew what I was buying, or did I? The morning of his birthday he had already gathered his friends around before I could retrieve this great little pedal toy from the garage. I started to bring my boy his present when my neighbor showed up, coffee in hand. As he eyeballed the pedal car he nearly dropped the coffee.
“That’s a Shelby”, he shouted! “Yeah”, I said, I bought a mustang pedal car for Stevie. ”That`s not just a pedal car” he recanted, “that’s a 1965 Ford Shelby GT-350″. As he went on his passion reminded me why I bought the pedal toy for my boy. I silenced my neighbor by saying “Ok, I get it”! These cars are the only fully licensed pedal cars by Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company and come with a certificate of authenticity included.
This incredible little pedal car is tricked out in full Shelby colors. Designed after the world famous 1965 Ford Shelby G.T. 350, this pedal car sports the distinctive hood and side panel striping, Shelby “Cobra” gas cap, and an imprint of Carroll Shelby’s signature on the rear deck. The paint finish is lead-free baked enamel. It has chromed hub caps, headlights and tail lights.
It has solid 8 inch rubber wheels and stamped steel construction. This pedal car will be treasured by kids and collectors for its authenticity and quality for years to come. When I finished, Steven and his friends stood gaping at me. My son’s voice broke the silence as he said, GEEZZ, DAD.
As I watched my happy boy, pedal his mustang up and down the drive way with his friends running behind him, an image played in my mind. Maybe Stevie is the next Steve McQueen and he will be doing a remake of Bullitt.
The Charger is mine son!
