Maybe you were one of those good little boys or girls who were lucky like me to have Santa drop off one at your house.


"Look, Kenna! I had one of these when I was a little girl!", I said.
Then I looked at the price and almost dropped my teeth. Nearly $200 dollars each. THESE ARE PEDAL CARS, NOW MIND YOU. THEIR ONLY MEANS OF LOCOMOTION IS THE 2 TO 6 YEAR OLD KID INSIDE THEM (the recommended ages according to the manufacturer's tag).
These two, very similar to the ones Ace had, I found on line--their price--$279 each. And if your kiddie has expensive taste, lusting for a Mercedes, that will set you back a cool $400 plus.Â
I was too small to know what one cost in or about 1950, but I am guessing no more than $20.  My, how things have changed
