Wow, a real live Caretta steering wheel! I've seen them in old photos, but not in the flesh. Very cool find.

Re: She was tired of tripping over it.
This old Caretta has no sissy rails, steel wheels, dead axle and sprocket brakes. It must be close to a first edition.

Can we get some better pictures?

Re: She was tired of tripping over it.
With the early Caretta I'm restoring upholstery was a option. It has no snaps, should I add them or leave it as is? Suggestions.

I have what I need to reproduce an exact copy of the seat.
Re: She was tired of tripping over it.
Did you get it for the $195 in the ad?
That was complete with engine! Now the upholstery costs more than that!
