Default Street Legal Bumper Cars

Check out these Street Legal Bumper Cars in CA. http://gbodyforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=210798

Quote from email I received about these Bumper Cars:

"Where Do Old Bumper Cars go? The ones in Coney Island and Rockaway Park back in the 20's thru to the 50's ran on electric .
Had a pole on the back going to a metal electrical charged overhead plate.

I remember driving the bumper cars at amusement parks or a fair, back when I was a kid. They were so much fun.....

Well, now what do you do with old Bumper Cars?

(check out the license plates!)

WHO KNEW?

Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal.

They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've seen in too long. There are seven of these little monsters floating around California and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap."

They look like a blast and would be great at a Cruise-IN. A friend of mine saw them at a Cruise-In in Escondido, CA when he was visiting CA.

Pretty Kool I wish I knew if he sold them and for how much $$$
