Commemorative Pedal Police Car Raffle
This year a 2011 Fourth of July Commemorative Pedal Police Car is being raffled off at the Fourth of July celebration. The car was assembled and donated by John Hampton of John's Auto Body and Bruce Smith of Smith Body Shop in Chariton.
The pedal police car is one of a kind and commemorates the new Lucas County Law Center. It's a retro style, black and white colored car with economical milk and cookie powered two-stroke motor, white wall tires and a chrome steering wheel.
Additional details include dual mirrors, door handles, a flashing red light and handcuffs. Bingham Signs did the airbrush detailing and Hy-Vee Distribution Center provided the decals.
Last year, Hampton and Smith made a commemorative pedal fire engine that was raffled off at the Fourth of July celebration. The woman who won it donated it back to the Fourth of July Committee and it was sold at this year's Fourth of July auction.
