Pedal Cars and Retro Collectables — Inside Scoop
Pedal Cars and Retro Collectables
|
Pedal Cars And Retro Collectables was our first mom-owned-shop. Our mom had the vision and began this online store. With her great persuasive ability, she eventually convinced my twin sister, Janice, and me to join her. Now, all three of us are kept busy running this fun store and love every minute of it. The Retro Movement is alive and well today. People everywhere are reliving old memories and are now introducing the delights of an earlier age to their children. A huge variety of '20s, '30s, '40s, and '50s-style steel Pedal Cars are available once again for young kids in this generation. After disappearing from the market in the 1960's when plastic became so popular and prices of steel skyrocketed, pedal cars are back for today's lucky kids. And it's not just pedal cars that are popular. Pedal planes are a big hit with kids, parents and grandparents. As you can see in this photo, Jackson loves his Sky King pedal plane. Retro-style trikes, wagons, scooters, 2-wheel bikes and gas pumps that are just the right size for filling up those pedal vehicles are all favorites today. Grandparents and great grandparents are like "kids in a candy store" when they visit http://www.PedalCarsAndRetro.com. They love choosing pedal cars that they remember for their grandchildren. They know what treasured toys these will become. Retro toys like these will provide hours of healthy exercise and imaginative play now and will be remembered for years to come. And this cool retro store is not just for kids. Collectors love it too. And, best of all, you don't have to be a serious collector to join the fun. Everybody's doing it. You wouldn't believe how many people are decorating their homes with a retro theme. We just had one executive who designed himself a retro kitchen and displayed pedal cars with a gas pump above his cupboards. How cool! Whether you are creating a complete retro-style room in your home or office or just adding a few nostalgic pieces to your current decor, you will find lots to choose from here. We also carry the full line of Crosley Radio products - top quality reproductions of all the original Record Players, Radios, Stack-O-Matics, Jukeboxes, Retro Entertainment Centers and more. But to make them even better, Crosley has incorporated today's technology so we can enjoy our audio cassettes, CD's and our MP3's and still keep the nostalgic look and sound. Besides all this, you will find retro picnic coolers, clocks, phones, music boxes and diecast models in our store. And, just because we couldn't resist, we also carry some fantastic kids costumes as well as the 'Lil and Big Driver Golf Carts. We know they're not "retro" but they're so much fun we just had to have them in our store! Currently, we are busy adding tons of new products. We invite you to visit us now and come back often. You will be thrilled with all the fabulous new retro treasures you will find when you return each time. |
