Stunning Restoration of 1950′s Hedstrom Tricycle
Nick P. sent us photos of his restoration job on his wife’s 1950′s Hedstrom tricycle. He used all original parts except for the grips, tires and pedal locking caps. He went all out and had parts re-chromed rather than just painting them.
The end result looks stunning, especially considering how bad of a state the tricycle was in prior to restoration. It’s hard to tell from pictures just how well any particular restoration goes, but this one looks to be fantastic.
Nick says that it’s ready to pass down to the next generation, hopefully they will keep it stored inside so that his grandchildren won’t have to do another restoration project in 60 years.
If you or someone you know has restored a tricycle and would like to share the results with the world, email us photos of the before and after pictures.
