sorry, my mistake. The car was not built in America. It is not powered by an Indian engine

It has a Union Jack painted on the bonnet, was it made in the UK?

Pedal car?
Enlarging the picture I think I can read 1936 on the licence plate..

I assume this is now unlocked. Is it a "wall of death" car?

well, ropat53 did not make a guess for 9 days, so yes, it was unlocked. And Hiawatha found the solution, so I hope it won't be a problem if I give him the point.
