With its clever name, flamboyant two-tone paint job, and chain drive pedaling system, it was a top of the line offering during this era. Kidillacs were uniquely styled featuring a streamlined, one-piece steel body with no seams or joint that would split apart. Deluxe Kidillacs had electric horns and working head and taillights.
Continental spare tire kits, a common accessory found on full-sized auto's of this era, added to the Kidillac's appeal. Among the chain driven Kidillacs were police and Fire Chief cars that had working horns, bells, spot lights and antennas as accessories. Production of the basic and deluxe style Kidillacs continued until 1963. Some more simplistic versions of the Kidillac were offered with a pedal drive system instead of the chain drive.
Today, a Kidillac in restorable condition is in high demand with limited availability.
These cars were offered with different graphics painted on the sides. The background colors accurately depict original paint color schemes from Garton.
Parts shown in the exploded view but not listed below are currently not available. Sorry!
