SOME STUDEBAKER RELATED
PEDAL CARS

The medium blue Midwest Industries Jet Hawk was based on the 1956 Studebaker Hawk series. Some versions of the Jet Hawk have fins and some do not. The Jet Hawk in Brent's collection is a nicely done restored example.

The blue Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company Champion Dip Side was inspired by the Studebaker Champion. It was a very popular pedal car in the 1950's. Large numbers of Murray Champions were produced in several versions. The example in Brent's collection is a high quality restoration.

The light red bullet nose pedal car was made by in Italy by Giordani Bologna. It was based on the 1950 and 1951 Studebaker. These are relatively rare to find and original parts are hard to come by. This unrestored original example was purchased from a collector in Italy.

The turquoise bullet nose pedal car was made in Russia by Moskvich. After Giordani stopped producing its bullet nose, Moskvitch started making a similiar but not identical pedal car. This example was restored in Russia and purchased from a collector in England.

The black Midwest Industries Strato-Jet is a variation of the Jet Hawk. It used the same basic body with modifications to the paint and graphics. Produced in relatively small numbers, it is not an easy mdel to find regardless of condition.

This beautiful Geordini Bologna bullet nose pedal car is a recent addition to Brent's Studebaker pedal car collection. Brent purchased it from a seller in France. These have amazing craftsmanship and are very difficult to find in like new original condition. Brent already had one in his collection but not in such pristine condition. The Russian copy made by Moskvich is much easier to find.

Thanks to Brent for sending the pictures and information regarding his great pedal car collection.
