Available for auction is a Sheraton Thompson Indy-style racecar pedal car, a professionally built contemporary masterpiece that captures the essence of classic open-wheel racing. Constructed with an aluminum frame, fiberglass body, and all-aluminum components, this pedal car is finished in the iconic Sheraton Thompson Special livery and features a painted signature of legendary driver AJ Foyt.
The interior boasts a genuine leather seat, and the entire build is adorned with high-quality paints for an authentic vintage look. Measuring 54” in length, 24” in width, and 20” in height, this stunning piece weighs approximately 40 lbs.
The Sheraton Thompson Special was famously driven by AJ Foyt, who won the 48th edition of the International 500 Mile Sweepstakes at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1964 and raced the car in five other events before its retirement.
After its final race in September 1964 at the Trenton, New Jersey, one-mile track, the car was stored for nearly two years before being donated to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. The seller states that this meticulously crafted pedal car is in excellent condition, with only minor damage to the front grille.
Whether you're an IndyCar racing enthusiast, collector, or admirer of fine craftsmanship, this fully restored Indy-style pedal car would make a stunning addition to any collection.
