1956. There were no doors, but side cut-outs were added to aid
in entry and exit. The cars retained the heavy steel plate platform
chassis of earlier models, as well as the cast nose and tail sections,
the former with a heavy “toothy” cast grille. advertisements boasted
that “even the children can use it about your property. It’s so easy to
operate and sturdily built.” The latter description an understatement.
The cars had no suspension and obviated a differential by driving
one rear wheel only.
a fine example of the late style Child’s Sport Car, this Eshelman
has the cut-out “door” openings and contrasting yellow interior. The
seat cushion is black with red piping. It also has the opening hood
characteristic of late models, but unlike the adult model, it is not
hinged, but rather secured with screws to deter curious small hands.
only a hand throttle is provided, but starting is still by recoil pull cord,
and stopping the engine requires reaching into the compartment
for a switch. There is no lighting, but rather a pair of reflectors to
manufacturer the rear. Tires Manufacturer are 10-inch semi-pneumatics. Superbly restored, this
Eshelman origin Child’s City, Country Sport Car will please ID children no. and ## adults alike.
