Many fellow collectors asked us to add pages dedicated to the Pedal Cars. Although we have no knowledge about the Pedal Cars , we decided to add these pages to this site. It gives you an idea which pedals were shown in the catalogues through the years . We would be pleased with any addition you have for this page. Please give us some time to complete these pages. |

Many thanks to Pedal Car authority Pieter van den Berg (South Africa) who wrote the interesting text for this Pedal Car site. Of all the pedal car makers, Tri-ang is probably the only one I will truly call international. Ok, so let me explain myself. Although you will find Steel craft's in Europe, they were built in the USA . And the Eureka ’s in the USA were built in France , as was the Giordani’s built in Italy . However, you could find Triang's built in Canada under the name Thistle, Triang's built in the UK as Triang's, in South Africa as Triang's and in Australia under the name Cyclops. Triang started life as Lines Bros., and pre-war cars are known under this name. |

We are very grateful to the Dutch gentleman Leon Ramaekers, who is the owner of the fantastic pedal car, shown below. This 1934 Chevrolet de luxe is in an excellent original shape. Thanks to the pictures Leon provides, we can have a clear look on this beautiful model. On top of this page you can see an advert with this Chevrolet. (traffic cop) |
