Riding a '37 Dayton Super Streamline
Scored this little fella off EBay. I think this is the first pneumatic tired trike like this I've seen but certainly the nicest original. Anyone else have one of these? V/r Shawn

Congrats Shawn!!
That’s the nicest original I’ve seen and only pneumatic tired one!
I’ve owned a few originals, but not as nice.

I think they are supposed to be stylized trains? V/r Shawn
Also being a railfan, I believe there was a streamlined train back in the day called the "Minuteman" which ran on the Boston & Maine RR. The Hedstrom plant may have been located along that railroad in New England, giving them the idea for the model name. Nice that the pneumatic tires are still in good condition. They're super rare to find, and when they do come up for sale the seller usually is asking a high price for them. Very nice score, Shawn!

Dave you are correct on the Minuteman train I was doing some research yesterday and came across that. I have been unable to locate any literature concerning this tricycle. If anyone has a copy of any ads I would appreciate it. I also have not been able to find another example of this tricycle. Does anyone know of another or have pics of one? Randy (seller) really worked with me on this one to make it happen. V/r Shawn
