Uploaded by roadkillontheweb on Jun 20, 2007
1966 Ford Thunderbird JR made by the powercar Company of Mystic CT. These were made by The Power car with the cooperation of the Ford Motor Company FoMoCo to be used by dealerships as sales promotion tools to help sell cars. They were expensive when new so not many were made and even fewer exsist today because they were often driven by inexperienced drivers. If you can find one today they are very pricey! These are not pedal cars! They are powered promotionals that came in gas powered and electric versions. They had working headligts, Taillights and horn and even went in reverse! Go to http://www.jrcentral.com for more information on powered promotional cars. And if you are looking for parts to restore one or build one from scratch a list of available parts can be found at http://www.jrcentral.com/resources.html

You think these JR. cars could be legal in GO-KART races? *Whirr*
...Of course they'll need a tune-up to go faster if possible... *Click*

Wait, how can a grownup fit in this?! Or does he got no legs?

@SwineNahNah The distance from the gas and brake pedals to the seat back is 41 inches and the steering linkage goes high over the legs just under the hood so this leaves a large cavity for the drivers legs to fit in. A kids legs will not even reach the pedals that are located just behind the grille. If you watch tbirdbrian's videos he has one of him climbing in the car.

OK. However that might be aprox. 4.5-5" short for me anyway and I'm not the tallest guy around 5'11.5", that's about average or a little above by local standards, but since owning such a nice and rare toy is nowhere to be seen in future, that's not a problem. Oh, BTW, I had a toy car when I was kid, "pedal powered" single seater, all metal. It had battery powered headlights, but I never saw them in working condition, since I wasn't the first kid to own it.

@SwineNahNah If you watch my other videos with the 67 Mustang my nephew that is driving it is 6'3" tall and skinny and fits fine. I am 6'6" and a little chubby so I do not fit. The 41" of leg room lets a pretty tall driver fit in. Kids can not reach the pedals so they made an electric version for them
