Murray Comet/Torpedo

Someone was giving this beautiful toy as the right fron wheel was buckled. I took it home and spent a couple of hours pulling out the front section, bent the retaining wall back and re-wrapped the axle. Then a quick re-grease and re-assemble.
This is a Murray Torpedo (with vent holes), which is based on the Comet (show on the website below). The pedal car is modelled on an late 40s and early 50s Buick.
