Reader Reviews
This is a big, beautiful, hardcover book that traces the history of the pedal car a.k.a. the "junenile auto". It is authored by a woman who married into the Garton Toy Company of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Garton was one of "the Big 4" in the manufacturing of pedal cars. The book begins with an introduction on pedal cars followed by a chapter on the Art of the Juvenile Automobile, highlighting the careers of the various designers and what inspired their designs. There are four chapters on each of the prominant pedal car manufacturers (Garton, Murray, Gendron, and AMF/BMC). And finally two chapters on collectors and collections. The last chapter contains a source page (publications, places, events, etc.) The text is interesting and informative, however, its the color photos (aprox. 550) that will make your mouth water. If I had to choose one book on pedal cars, this would be the one.
