Hand Pedal Car Kiddie Ride History
In the 1940s-1950s, small amusement parks swept the country. The highlight of the trip to the park for many children was a ride on the self propelled cars also known as the Hodges hand pedal car or pedal train. These kiddie train rides were permanently installed at over four hunderd small and large amusement parks across the USA with an estimated forty million riders served.
