old gold Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Posted December 15, 2014 It's a 1924 Custer Car Electric. Some were carnival rides and some were street legal. This one was street legal. 1 Quote
Ulu Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 What a cutie pie! The car is cute too. What's with the tube on the nose? Quote
1940plymouth Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 This one needs printing and framing, fantastic photo, thanks for sharing Quote

Uncle-Pekka Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Great photo, this cheered up my day! Cute little toddler and rare piece of machinery. She appears to be very proud of the car and for a good reason. Were the "street legal cars" also targeted to be toys? (...like the carnival rides) It must have been quite rare product, in 1924 only very rich could afford such toy(?). Thanks for sharing! Quote
busycoupe Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 The picture Greg posted of the bumper car version of the Custer car could explain the post protruding from the front of Old Golds car. The post held the spring bumpers on the bumper car version. Perhaps Old Golds car was once a bumper car. Quote
Ulu Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 Ah yes...a bumper car! What fun! I love bumper cars, and never fail to ride them when at the fair or the boardwalk. Quote
Don Coatney Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 More fun on the street. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFTaj_jb4K0 Quote
Ulu Posted December 15, 2014 Report Posted December 15, 2014 They're pretty, but there wasn't any bumping. Quote
