Anybody remember these from their childhood? Carnival ride cars...


I saw these on kijiji and it immediately brought back a flood of childhood memories, from when the traveling carnival (Bill Lynch Shows around here) would set up in the summertime.  I remember these cars specifically (the Corvette-looking ones) and may have even sat in one of these very cars.

Just thought it was interesting to see them again.  At the time I never thought it was strange to see an inline (4?) sticking out of the hood... I think I just thought it looked cool.

Description

Six vintage childrens carnival ride cars for sale; four Corvettes, one Mustang and one Checker style taxi. They are fiberglass construction and running on four wheels as they were on the ride, no steering or engines. They are well made, in good overall condition considering their history, and ready to be repurposed to a new life. Prep detail and paint and the options are many: Use as a static display or a play car for when the grandkids come over. Install on a go cart or custom built chassis for a one of a kind ride. Got a big empty wall? Hang one up and hook the lights to a flasher unit for a unique display. Turn one on end on that wall, install shelving and lights into the center for a custom display cabinet for trophies, collectibles or pictures of the wife. Cut down the passengers side and upholster the interior for a one of a kind love seat. Or ?????????????? $3000 for the lot, will not separate. Have a forklift available for loading. Posting for a friend, for more information or to view please call 902 897 5925.

Yep! And I remember the ones with the annoying horn you could press on the steering wheel. Good times!

Too bad they don't have odometers. It'd be interesting to know just how many miles those things put on going around and around and around
