A trio of Hallmark Kiddie Car Classics scale-model replicas based on pedal cars. This collection includes three distinct models manufactured in die-cast metal with plastic and rubber components. These are static display pieces produced by Hallmark Cards, Inc. The first model is a red Murray Champion replica. It features white side decals reading Champion 610 and Jet-Flow Drive. The vehicle includes a white steering wheel, white windshield frame, and silver-toned front bumper and hood ornament. The hubcaps are marked with a stylized M inside a circle, identifying the original manufacturer of the full-sized pedal car as the Murray Ohio Manufacturing Company. The second model is a 1930s-style two-tone green and black pedal car. It features a dark green body with black sweeping fenders. A white winged P logo is visible on the rear fender. Decorative elements include a silver-toned split windshield frame, a side-mounted bulb horn with a black bulb, a silver-toned hood ornament, and a matte silver front grill. The third model is a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air replica in a two-tone light blue and cream color scheme. The rear quarter panels feature cursive Bel Air script. The rear of the car includes a cream-colored continental-style spare tire cover detailed with the Chevrolet bowtie emblem. The model is finished with a silver-toned tubular windshield frame, front hood ornament, silver-toned side trim, and an antenna. The hubcaps feature the stylized M logo.
