Figure 1.--Here we a great specisalized fire truck pedal car. Notice the bell. The photograph is undated, but looks like the late-1910s or early-1920s. Place vyour cursor on the iamge for a closer look.

It did not take long for specialized vehicles to appear. Bright red fire trucks, of course withn a bell to mring, were popular. Many specialized vehickes appeared in the 1920s. An pedal car companies followed suit with new types like roadsters. We see pedal cars with large fenders, shiny radiators, and artistic hood ornaments(1920s). And with Lindburg's flight we begin to see airplane pedal cars. Cars got larger and heavier and we begin to see stramlining (1930s). Some of the largest pedal cars appeared at this time. We also see artillery wheels with large plated hubcaps. Evenbtually with the Space Race, we not only see rocket styling on cars, but also on pedal cars (1960s).
