Fire Truck Pedal Car Restoration

- This children’s pedal car was made in the 1960’s.
It was made by Murray and was called a flat face Fire Truck. The body shape was modeled after the Ford Fairlane (my first car handed down by Grandma).
It’s missing its wooden ladders, the ignition key, the hood light, and padded seat.
This car has had some good usage and now it’s time to bring it back to its original condition, for a new generation of kids to enjoy.
This car weighs over 35 pounds - it’s a sturdy metal machine. There's even a back step for kids to ride on and push off from.

I had a Ford Fairlane pedal car my parents bought for me at a Western Auto Hardware Store when I was about four or five years old. Same design as this, minus the fire engine accoutrements. It was a mint green color. They had eight mm home movies of me pedaling around in that car. I was one happy camper! 😃 Rode around in it so much my dad had to replace the tires. He mounted the new ones by heating them in near boiling water to make them pliable enough to mount. We ended up donating it to our church nursery when I outgrew it. I am sixty-two now.
Beautiful job!
Great job!👍
I had that very same car , it also had ladders and a bell on the hood
I’m 63 years old now
Ditto, still have bugs Bunny but no firetruck, wore the pintle bearings out
Awesome, did you have a light too? If so, do you recall what it looked like?
Great effort well done.
Nice restoration 😍😍
Thank you very much!
Increíble restauración buen trabajo😍
I had one of those when I was a kid. I got it on Christmas when I was about 3 years old. (Yes, I'm ancient.)
Lol, we used to have a whole parkway chalked out - fun times.
It looks like a Plymouth!
I don't know. There are a couple of suspicious things. 🔎

He should have made the headlights to work, as he made a flashing red light.
I definitely thought about it. But this restoration had already stretched on for almost 2 years due to some "life interruptions."
Where do you buy the replacement tires
What did you use to luberciate all moving parts with
"promosm" 💦
Почему именно пудра? Это самый удобный способ окрашивания?
Порошковая окраска была нанесена на нижнюю часть механики, колпаки, рули и держатели лестниц, потому что порошок более долговечен, чем краска, а эта игрушка предназначена для использования. Спасибо!
@@BOMReviews Спасибо за ответ♥️
