<p>[QUOTE="Neal Andres, post: 4166736, member: 20537"]You are absolutely correct. You had a Murray Jet-Flow Drive Station Wagon. Your memory is recalling the tailgate that opened and closed but there wasn't a dumping mechanism on this car. This was made during the "Sadface" grill era of Murray cars in the mid 50s. You could probably find a very nice example of this car for around $500. I was able to find one that seems to have been NOS that sold at auction in 2017 for $1200.00. That might seem pricey and frankly few pedal car collectors will step up and pay $1200 for a mid 50s car, but when you find the condition of the car in these photos, I think you go north of $1000 each time and aren't wrong. These toys were left outside, beat to death by kids and their friends, handed down, to little siblings then to the original owner's own children, passed around in a garage sale or two often as well. When you buy, if you choose to buy, be patient. Wait for condition to surface. Find one with the seat pad still in place. If you don't buy, just enjoy these two photos and REMEMBER the best you can, you and YOUR RIDE. [ATTACH=full]333085[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]333086[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
