This thing will likely turn more heads than a Lamborghini flagship with its nostalgic styling evoking childhood memories
The bespoke Radio Flyer Wagon was a retirement project of late aircraft builder and is now being auctioned. The two-seater cabin and the rear bed are covered by a red carpet, matching the tub-style bodywork. The vehicle is street-legal, being based on the underpinnings of a 1976 Mazda B1600 pickup. If you've ever dreamed of cruising in a street-legal version of the classic Radio Flyer Wagon from your childhood, now's your chance. A custom-made example is currently available.
There are no doors, but we suppose that the occupants can easily climb to the fully exposed interior. The bespoke body sits on the underpinnings of a 1976 Mazda B1600 pickup, using new coil springs over the stock leaf spring suspension. The ladder-frame chassis has been shortened by 2 inches in order for the vehicle to resemble the proportions of the original Radio Flyer wagon. Most of the mechanics have been carried over with the exception of a reworked radiator frame.
