I also asked on yahoo to try to get an ID, but thought I may find more knowledgeable people here, thanks!

Ok, that looks like a Garton brand pedal car. That versions was made in 1964, and is their Mark 5 Fire Truck. The brackets on the rear were for a small attachment that extended the car out. There were also extra pieces on those white extensions on the rear of the car. I can't tell if it's an original or not. But here's a reference pic from a restoration place.

I would look around to see if you can find an expert in the Garton brand pedal cars, see if they can verify its authenticity and maybe give you a value on it.

Thanks a lot for that. I wasn't sure about the 50's, so that makes sense. The condition is good and I am 99% sure it is not a reproduction. I think the value is right around $50-100. Much appreciated, any more info would be amazing!
