It's the real first Caretta! No matter what you did you couldn't keep it off the curb.

Hi guys. With all that room next to the seat, I thought this might have been a factory prototype for the first SIDEWINDER???? , Phil.

It's to bad kids now would look down at it and think it's a piece of homemade junk. Some kid was proud of it and probably spent many hours dragging back up a hill for a to short of a ride back down. Maybe his father helped him put it togehter out of scrap and it's a fond memory.
Maybe a few kids scrounged what they could find and it was a group project.......
Scraped elbo's, torn knees on their jeans.....bet they didn't even wear a helmet when they rode it!

grew up in akron ohio, home of the all american soap box derby. mine was a used up soap box derby with a engine from a 'reel' lawnmower. since the derby had limited steering, we would disconnect, connect a rope to the 'front axle' to hold on and steer with our feet.. the engine throttle was a string.. my street atwood drive did have some nice hills with long flat road till next hill. a long walk back indeed but my street also had some nasty deep ditches. lasted 2days when i came home 'kinda' beat up...so much for hiding my soap box derby from my mother

It's still for sale.......
