I found this recently and can't find any information about it. I did find a couple of pictures online but nothing more. I would very much like to get a value for this car. It has all of the parts and besides some scratches in the paint is in good shape.

Campbell Soup Pedal Car made by Alpha International Inc., also known as Gearbox Pedal Car Company, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Not very old. One sold recently on ebay for 72 dollars....

buckethead, thank you very much for the information. I know it was made to look old but can tell it isn't all that old by looking closely. I appreciate that you saw what one sold for, that is very helpful and thanks for the link.

Greg,
You are very welcome.
The design is based on the Murray Dipside Champion Jet Flow Drive Pedal Car like the blue one pictured in the following link. The pink one is a newer version that is worth a fraction of the the one made in the early 50s. You can really tell by the heavier gauge metal they used back then. My brother is really heavy into collecting pedal cars and I have acquired a few from him through the years :)
