That is a Penny's Micro Buggy- from the 70s!

I started the search for Shriners go karts and found it on Google images. www.bestride.com

Had one of those in the '70s, my dad built a special rack on the trailer so we could take it around when we took the buggy or the sand rail to Pismo, Glamis, Winnemucca, Sand Lake etc...

Painted it like Old Glory for '76 parade and I was dressed as Uncle Sam, but the dang thing didn't start and I got towed on a trailer, major disappointed.

I figured for sure by now the OP would revisit his thread to check on the research everyone is doing for him..

I come across one of these. It is a bird engineering go kart made in freemont Nebraska. These were made for J.C.Penny. Mine runs and is pretty much original. I can not find another running kart like this. Good luck with it.
