Looking to find a little info about this car.

Bought it recently and looking for info.

Inverted upgraded original windshield
Killer original bumper
Original fender lights
Original” Steelcraft “ tag on backrest seat.
All original non disturbed paint except .....
rear tail.
Back very bottom had 2” rust.
This 3” x 10” piece was cut out
New thinner piece of metal cut in to replace
Welded
Bent and molded to follow exact curve.
Repainted only back area.
Seat on both sides 1/2” dot seen on each side
Seat had 2 tiny welds to resupport seat. ( hard to tell .
Pedals crank and rest of under carriage untouched.
Car sits , rides and displays very nice.

Lack of knowledge. Questions my purchase.
Is this a $1000 , $2000 or more car.
As it sits.

Hopefully someone else can put this info to use.

Thank you
Mark

Excellent. I have collected pedal cars off and on in the past 30 + years. I've had some nice examples. I don't collect them anymore. No room and too many other interests. This is a top end nice original example. Easy a $2000.00 car I'd say. I was into my Austin J40 for closer to $4000.00 but it was a total resto. Sold locally so still can visit it!!

Very nice, Mark - looks to be a '37-'39.

Always
Damn Good to hear from you Dean !
Hope all is well out East.

Thank you for info., Earlier the better.
My first attempt to research these resulting In finding mostly restored shiny cars.
Still very nice but hard to compare.
Pricing seems to be all over the boards.
Years and specific models will help in narrowing my search .
