I live about 2000yrds away from the Kiddie Kar factory ruins. The building still stands albeit without a roof or windows. External shots of the building were used in the movie "An American Christmas Carol" with Henry Winkler, done in the early 80's I believe. If anyone is interested, I can email a couple of photos of the factory as it stood in the 1950's and present day.

I have my Kiddie Kar because of my grandfather Lloyd.
My Kar has 4 patent dates on the bottom. They are April 25, 1916,
March 20, 1917, December 26, 1918 and Deccember 24, 1918.
The price of $3.00 was written in pencil on the bottom.
My great grandparents made sure their children took great care with
such a precious toy. I took my newborn son to visit my grandfather in
the nursing home. When I told him Blake would now get to enjoy
it like he had, he shook his finger and said- You make sure he doesn't break it - it's precious.
break it-it's precious!

My family tells me that the name "Kiddie Car" was copywrighted by my great-grandfather, John Marshall Crowe. He had invented a child's tricycle-type toy at The Crowe Engineering Company, which sat behind the center-field wall of Crosley Field in Cincinnati, OH, in the 1940's and 1950's. I've been researching this for years to no avail. Any information sent to me on this subject would be appriciated.

I recently purchased a Kiddie Kar exactly like the one pictured at an auction. It is in pretty good shape and after a little work I had it in useable condition. Bought it for my toddler (tired of the plastic toys) and he loves it. His mother likes it too though she cringes whenever it tips over. The handle and his head seem like they're made from attracting magnets.

I own a Kiddie Kar that was my uncles. It was bought for him when he was one year old in 1919. I'd like to know its value. It is in EXCELLENT condition.

Help please......Were there a number of years when this "Kar" was made? I have one that was supposed to belong to my father, but he was born in 1919 and this doesn't seem to fit.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Do you know who invented the Kiddie Car? From my chilchood memories, I believe my grandfather, Perry Snyder had something to do with its invention or manufacture.
