What is it?

The bike was mine. Sidewalk bike. 16" solid rubber tires. Had a bar under the tank so it was not a convertible.
It was made by Midwest Industries. NOT Ross. Tires were marked MIDWEST.
Posted before. I sold it for $250. Cool little thing! Try to find another!

Yes I think Midwest Industries is correct. Not a Ross after all. Late 40’s early 50’s. Wonder what the value would be?

Interesting little machine. Well made but to a cost. It looks to be a convertible without a top bar visible. The same stamping is for front and rear wheel forks. Midwest made a lot of tricycles. The skirt on the front wheel is on some of the trikes. Rack looks to have holes for straps. Worth fixing up!
