Where Do The Old Bumper Cars Go?

The ones in Coney Island and Rockaway Park back in the 20's thru to the 50's

Ran on electric .
Had a pole on the back going to a metal electrical charged overhead plate.

Remember driving the bumper cars at amusement parks or
A fair, don't you? They were so much fun.....

Well,

Now what do you do with

Old Bumper Cars?

They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've seen in too long. There are seven of these little monsters floating around California and they ' re all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.

They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley Davidson
Motorcycle engines but they rattled like heck because of the two cylinder
Vibration and Tom replaces them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750 ' s
And a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.

Put a small pickup bed on the back, low gearing and big fat off road tires, add a pedestal mount with gimbal head next to the steering wheel and you have a mobility scooter for an outdoor/nature photographer. Maybe stretch it a bit and add a second seat.

Good thing I don't have money or I would be trying to get one set up like that. Much classier than the average ATV.

Those are freakin' awesome. Wish I had the money and ability to build one.

Too bad Detroit couldn’t have been as imaginable with their automobiles.. maybe they would still be a player in the automobile industry.

Any idea what the cost of one is. I would not want to buy it but really interested in what the actual value may be. This is really a work of art.
