THE WAGON OFFERED
Big Daddy can best describe this creation:
"Started with a child's wagon and added a 1 horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine. The handmade suspension and steering are of tubing, water pipe, and scrap metal pieces. The front suspension are Chevy big block valve springs.
"The rear axle is from a lawn tractor. The Go-Kart tires and rims come from K-Rims, Azusa, CA. Metal Masters of Salt Lake City did the chrome plating. Bruce Nells, Manti, UT painted it and "Downtown" Willy from Concepts, Buena Park upholstered it.
"When driving "Big Daddy" Roth sat on top of the air foil atop the engine. It has been in parades and at air shows throughout Utah and was awarded the "world's prettiest wagon" at the 1992 Oakland Roadster Show."
Everything seems to be ready to be driven (or ridden?) although one control handle is missing. The ingenuity and hot rod sense is apparent. It is functional art.
