As many Shelby multi-generational families as there are around the country, this 1965 Ford Shelby GT 350 inspired pedal car- the only pedal car whose manufacture was approved and overseen by Carroll Shelby and Ford Motor Company--is a real "must have" for any little kid of a certain age--from 3 to 90!
The beautiful little number is a fully-functioning pedal car safe for use as a toy, and is also a carefully crafted, authentically striped and decaled display piece. Sporting the distinctive Shelby hood and side panel striping, Shelby "Cobra" gas cap, and an imprint of Carroll Shelby's signature on the rear deck, any Shelby car collector, kit car or replica owner will have to have one, if not for the children in the family to enjoy, for sure to display beside their Shelby car or Shelby collection.
These Shelby GT pedal cars were manufactured to the highest quality standards and are in a limited edition run, so when they are gone, they are gone. Each model comes with its own certificate of authenticity. Basic specifications are 39"L, 16" W, 18" H. The seat is 10 ¼" wide by 6" length and there is 13" between the seat back and the steering wheel. From the floor into the little seat there's a step-up of 8 ¼." The whole car is stamped steel construction; the painstakingly matched Shelby colors are in Finish Lead-Free Baked Enamel Paint, with chromed hub caps, headlights and tail lights, solid rubber eight-inch wheels and three-position pedals. And a clear plastic windshield just completes the look of the cutest little Shelby car going.
When it comes box-shipped, it is guaranteed to require very minimal effort to put together. The Shelby pedal cars are priced around $269 on a couple of websites, including the official Shelby site which was offering free shipping when I looked yesterday. Can you just imagine the kids in a Shelby family - or any family-- seeing their own 1965 Shelby GT-350 pedal car under this year's Christmas tree, so I would advise to order now to get it in plenty of time for the holidays. And actually, it's a great birthday or special occasion gift for any Shelby fan, and you don't need to wait for Christmas.
