How do I identify a pedal car?

Pedal cars have been made by different manufacturers all over the world for decades. To identify your pedal car, the best place to start is to look all over the car for a maker’s mark. There are other tell-tale signs, for example in the case of pedal cars made by American Machine and Foundry (AMF) and Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company. AMF used three tabs on their wheels, while Murray used six. Take your car to an expert if you can’t find any identifying marks. Shop a collection of vintage pedal cars on 1stDibs.
