This is another beautiful Pierre Guy pedal car, a Giordani Ferrari Indianapolis- in the capable hands of a very young JP- a frequent contributor on the site... How did it work?
He explains; "These cars were mainly meant to be a testament to the generosity of the giver, because the crank-operated propulsion was so inefficient you could not hope to make progress up the slightest incline, and conversely, the pedals would beat your feet to a pulp going downhill ! I only remember hating it for looking so good while being so useless..." 1958 catalog here.
