Pedal car information

[1938airflow]

I just picked this old pedal car up. Not sure exactly what it is. I would like to restore it but it needs a few parts. Anyone who what this is and could add some pictures of one like it so I could see what parts I need to fix it up.

Good deal thanks

It's actually Steelcraft's version of a '41 Buick - see the minor differences from the Chrysler in the front end and windshield.
The Buicks are a bit more scarce than the Chryslers - nice find.

I concur with dfa242, it's a Steelcraft Buick Fire Chief car actually. Introduced in 41 and one of the few modern streamline Steelcraft cars from Murray that lingered in the catalogs during the war years. Last offered in the 45-46 combined catalog. I would argue that your example is a true 1941 example though due to the 3 spoke steering wheel. Attached is a page from the 41 catalog for reference.

Thanks I appreciate the information. I am getting it striped now. So the original pictures will help with paint.
