My original pedal car.

I just realized, I never specified VWs for this thread! :lol:

I remember those cars! It's a Marx ZOOOM MOBILE. Here's the listing from the 1965 Sears Christmas catalog.

Probably where my Ghia romance began.

Another great Christmas shot of a Pines pedal car under the tree.


I remember these from my childhood, but I was too old for one, so I envied them from afar ....
Of course as an adult collector, I can have anything I want! :lol:



These were very popular, and thousands were sold, but nearly all of them were put out to the curb when they were outgrown.

Great photo!

It's a Steha rubber Beetle from the 1950s.

looks like they don't always age well! :roll:

They're made from natural rubber, which eventually hardens and dry rots. This car was a beauty when I first bought it.

Another great photo of the nearly extinct Pines pedal car.

What we're looking for in this thread is actual vintage photos of toys in use. Vintage VW toy photos from back in the day! (That's photos rather than just toys!)
