Au contraire--my wife and I were in Natchadoches, La. a few months back and they had some doosies in the local hardware store--Studies, Chevy coupes, a CORVAIR, ect....$3-$500 though. I think they may have been made by Western Flyer, but don't know for sure. I can find out if you are interested (I didn't want to spend that much for something that would be left outside and trashed.). Came home and did a quick ebay search and you can get cheaper ones on the 'net, but the metal, high quality pedal cars have been making some sort of cult comeback--that hot rod guy Boyd Coddington even makes them and auctions them off for charities.
