Pedal cars have a basic frame made of steel or cast iron, with a car or truck shaped body to cover the frame. It would generally include a driver’s seat (and sometimes a passenger), a steering wheel, and pedal. The wheels were made of metal with solid rubber tires that were connected to the pedals and all a child, or now adult would have to do is pedal the car (similar to a bicycle) and steer. These were very desirable for children as it would give them good entertainment as well as exercise when riding the pedal car.
