    This is one of a pair I purchased earlier this year It's Modelled on a Great Gizmo / Baghera Classic Jalopy Fire Truck but every thing about it is slightly larger including the Head lamps that are about 10mm larger in diameter.
    The lens's are missing along with one Wheel Centre Cap and the Ladders but I can get these from Baghera France.
    The Radiator Shell is custom made and the winged rad cap.
    And to set it all off there is the "American Retro" Logo stamped in to the seat back.
    Never come across this make before so it was a must have and the price was right so even better.

      Did you find out anything about this pedal car? We have acquired one and can't seem to find any info on it

      No, nothing found but it's nice to know that there's another one some where in the world.
      Would be nice to see some pictures one day.
      So how many other Great Gizmo/Baghera variations have there been with the "American Retro" Logo stamped in the seat back.
      But from another angle there are 5 or 6 and could be more names you see on these cars but most of them are the Sticky Label's of the Importer/Marketing company's that sold them.
      OR Was "American Retro" the Company that made them to start with and sold the rights to China ???
