Love the patina, just enough but not rusted thruough!! They sure don't make them like this anymore!! Sorry I don't know the manu., but someone here will!
the patina, size and shape of this beauty is amazing! i have toy envy!
Congrats on this little gem. I believe it is a 1930's Garton pedal car. You can see a restored one here:

Notice the two holes on each side where the windshield used to be fixed to.
found some others...it's a Ford!

There are miniatures of this car for sale on ebay.
I can't help with the year or model-- but it sure does look great!

****HOW CUTE**** ~ I LOVE THIS CAR~ WHAT A FUN FIND~
awesome.
Thanks to all who made comments. I finally found it is a 1937 Garton Ford. I do not know if I restore it or leave it as it is. What do you think? Luis
This has great patina!! Don't repaint it. I would try to find the correct wheels, windshield and other missing parts, but preserve the original finish and character.
Thanks rocker-sd. Where can I find the missing parts?
Here's one option

Another would be to post a permanent search on ebay for "garton pedal car" and wait for a parts car to show up. With patience you might find some used parts that have similar patina. Neither option will be cheap.
Thanks a lot rocker-sd for your tips !!
Amazing!
