When I read your title I thought how interesting, a pedal car with two people power. Then I didn't see second set of pedals. lol

That's a really cool piece!

It’s really not a tandem, it has a rumble seat.

I agree this beautiful car looks more like a carnival ride car than a pedal car. From its grille shape it clearly a represents a Packard from the twenties. I'd guess its original wheels matched the spares and fit the fenders. I think the step plate to the rumble seat is a full-size piece from a real car. One clue about the car's original use would be wear. Carnival rides got a lot of use, so it shouldn't be surprising that the wheels were replaced. I'd also look at things like the door hinges. A carnival ride car would show wear from of having been entered and exited hundreds of thousands of times.
