I never comment on videos of any kind, but I feel like I need to say two things. One, the level of skill shown here is incredible. Two, I really like that it's not a clipped 15-minute video showing only highlights; the hour long is a perfect length to see and appreciate the entire restoration. Excellent work.

A friend of mine bought an old metal pedal-car for his daughter. He brought it to an auto body shop and had the guy restore it. The guy used paint left over from another job he did. It came out so pretty he wouldn't let his daughter take it outside. Those old kiddie-cars held more charm than the plastic ones they make today, because they were made of real metal like Daddy's car. Wonderful job, as always.

I like to imagine, 100 years in the future. Some guy who's not been born yet happens to come across this item. He looks at the quality craftmanship and buys it. It's very old, the paint is chipping, not much of a surprise after a hundred years. He checks around the item and sees "Meine Mechaniker." "Is that the manufacturer?" he says. He checks online and comes across your youtube channel. "Oh wow!" He sees your restoration. Amazing

Did anyone else stop and look up when Velcro was invented? It surprised me to see it used on the original seat of a 1950s toy. I thought it was a newer invention than that. It was invented in 1957, so it still would have been unusual to see it on a children’s toy back then. Maybe it was added later? Fantastic restoration, as always.

Thank you for the magical childhood memory of my grandfather's own restoration/reinvention of a very similar auto circa 1949-1950. Minus today's technology, all the work he did on our car was by hand. After sanding by hand and repainting by brush (silver "radiator" paint in place of chrome), he removed the twisted, broken, and partly missing pedal assembly and mounted the body onto our American Flyer sled. Come winter, we were the envy of every kid on the block as Grandpa, surely feeling as proud as the toddlers in his charge, towed them through the neighborhood for all to see. Totally enjoyed your video ..after finding it quite by accident on what otherwise would have been another lonely Thanksgiving night. Again, more than 70 years later, I can't thank you enough! (P.S. -- Hope you find the missing "horn" one day.) Ich wünsche dir viel Liebe, Glück und Frieden!

AS much as A child would like to ride it, please don't let them, this superb restoration should go to a toy museum where it can be enjoyed for years to come, tip top work, it deserves to stay as you have restored it, wonderful work👍👍👍👍👍.

In the late sixties or early seventies (can't remember exactly) I wanted one of these really bad. I had asked my mom and dad for one several times but they just couldn't afford one. Luckily for me, we moved back to my parents original home place and next to a lot of our family. Guess what, my cousins had several of these to my amazement. I will never forget pulling into our new home's driveway and seeing these peddle cars sitting around in the neighbors yards and my dad telling me these neighbors were my kin folk. I made friends very quickly. Just saying. Thanks for the fond distant memory. It also made me think of my parents especially my dad whom we lost in the 90's. These peddle cars also created a lifelong addiction to real cars that continues for me even until this day.
