WHAT IS IT WORTH??? I have a chance to buy an 1956 ESKA Kiddie Corvette Pedal Car Replica. I have a choice of three colors: white, black and red. Most pictures are of the white one because that is my first choice and it is the original Eska color. All components meet or exceed the original Eska quailty. The body is a vacuum formed one piece unit. UPGRADE: The plastic injected gears are replaced with machined metal gears. All chrome is quality plastic. A hand brake has been added for safety but can be removed. THANKS IN ADVANCE. Hugh

Hugh can you tell who made the kiddie Corvettes? I have 2 friends who are looking for parts for original cars.
Thanks, Paul

What's the seller asking price?

I have been looking for one of these for years.....found one at AACA Fall Hershey Meet a couple years ago....it was in rough shape and some really hard to find parts were missing....the guy wanted $4500 and would not budge...I went back the second day and it was gone! Somewhere I read there were about 500 of these made by the Eska Company in Dubuque, IA. I've pretty well given up on having one in my collection.

These are replicas. They are brand new. I'm trying to get a price/value for them. Any ideas? Hugh

.... I had an original kiddie Corvette that had some damage and sold it to a guy that repaired it and painted it "Red with White coves"


... Have you ever seen the "Kiddie Corvette Ballot Box" that was used at the dealerships to raffle these cars off with?

No. This is the first time I've heard of it. Hugh
