Russian pedal car



My husband and I fell in love with this wonderful little car. It has an emblem that indicates it was made by the Lenin Youth Communist Factory. The emblem on the front grill reads A3VK. The Lenin Youth Communist Factory was so named in 1969 but had been in business under different names. So this tells us that the car was made after 1969. It is mostly constructed of metal with hard rubber tires, and the steering linkage turns the wheels. It also has wiring for lights, but we do not have the battery, so we don't know what type of battery it would have had. Missing the windshield and a tail light lens. Also, one of the headlight lenses has been replaced, but it is not a match for the other headlight. Still a very cool and collectible little pedal car. Unusual find!
SOLD!
