Hank Davis - Pedal Cars Column
Hank Davis and his wife Debbie have been collecting for over 40 years and are the owners of Hank’s Garage in Bucyrus, Ohio. Hank is a collector, historian, junker, picker and vintage lover. He’s been collecting pedal cars since 1979, when he bought a little blue Murray Champion at a local auction, and from that point he was hooked. Hank’s Garage is best known for housing the world’s largest running, driving Edsel collection, and also for a vast collection of signs, gas memorabilia, soda collectibles and vintage toys – specifically, pressed-steel and wheel-goods toys, including wagons and pedal cars. Hank’s Garage has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Antique Automobile magazine and several newspapers. Follow Hank’s Garage on Facebook.

I think it started when a woman asked, out the blue, “When did they start making toy pedal cars, anyway?” She was shocked, as was the entire group, when I answered “Around 1900.” In fact, wheel-goods toy companies began producing pedal cars almost as soon as manufacturers started producing automobiles.
