Junior Central

This is one that I will admit that I know very little about! If anyone has original literature, information and vintage images I would love to add them.
    I was provided the first 8 pictures by a collector in New York that has had this since it was new (Lucky kid)! He states that his father picked it up at the local Chevrolet dealership so that would lead me to believe that this is another version of a dealer promotional.
    You can tell from the pictures that it is a gas powered model with what looks like a Techumse motor mounted in the trunk, Like so many other powered promotional cars this could not have been a cheap item to buy back in 1958. And like the others I am sure that this did a great job of getting kids to drag their parents into the showroom where the salesman could do his job!
    I will continue to build this page as I find more information on these. If you have any Vintage picture, Literature or any additional information on these and who made them please share it with me so that I can share that information with everyone that visits this website. The exchange of information can only help us all!

Ask and you shall recieve.
A forum member Scott B. saw I was updating pages and sent me some pictures of a Yardman Corvette that will help a lot with people that are restoring. The frame is missing the engine but other than that it looks like a unmolested survivor.


I had someone send me a better version of the original Yardman manual in PDF format that is much better that the old scans I had. Here it is and thanks.
