Dave Vogt pieced together a jalopy for his dad to go to Pioneer Days, but, sadly, his father died two weeks before the car was completed. Doug, in the same spirit as the full-sized jalopy, used various parts from his spares to re-create the car in 1/25 scale, making many details by hand, including the gun, fishing rod, beer box, traps, and squeeze horns. He kept the original car to cart around his seven granddaughters, who also used it to learn to drive.
