So thought I would share this with everybody, I know some of us have other hobbies. Mine has been Corvairs since I was born into it. When I was 3 my dad bought this car for me while looking for a pedal car with my grandmother.
It is a 1963 McDonald's promo car made of wood. He repainted it, the original red color. It is powered by a Corvair generator wired in reverse to run as a motor. When he bought it he contacted the company that built it and got some info. They only built 12 and a couple had full canopies on them this one did not.

I spent many hours driving this in parades with the corvair club.

Yes it does I rebuilt the Generator about 5 years ago. I just dont have anyone small enough to ride it. The old wood is starting to get well old. It really is more for display now. Im putting it up on a shelf in the office.
