'58 Buick restoration

[Bob Sawyer]

This pedal car was my wife's back in the late '50's/early '60's. It went through many family children over the years. Our grandchildren played with it up until about a month ago when I started the restoration.
According to what found through various pedal car websites, it represents a 1958 Buick.
It had many dent, dings and scratches. I worked the body, stripped it, primed and painted back as close to the original color as I could. (The before pic is not the original color) It has new tires, hardware and decals.
Looks like it's going to be around for many more years.

What a great toy, and your restoration looks real nice. Buick, like most had four headlights by 1958 though.

That's pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that’s awesome! Nice work! Just promise you won’t find away to put a LS in it! I’m kidding...
