The steel Radio Flyer wagon was introduced in 1927 and it’s gone on to become a classic piece of Americana that is still in production today.
This brings us to the massive wagon that will be sold by Mecum in October.
Details are sadly lacking, but the giant replica has been transformed into a “Kansas City Chiefs Party Wagon” that seats up to 12 people including the driver. You can clearly see that it has a wagon-inspired design with wooden rails. It also features Radio Flyer branding and a classic red paint job.

It also features chrome wheels and disc brakes. It is also street-legal because the wagon has headlights, brake lights and turn signals.
Elsewhere, we can see a short windshield and front bucket seats that certainly don’t prioritize comfort. Passenger sits on a wooden bench with Kansas City Chiefs cushioned cushions. While the rear seats aren’t glamorous, they appear to have storage compartments located underneath them.
Talking about things underneath, there’s a 5.7-liter V8 engine hiding under the body. There’s no word on specifications, but it’s connected to an automatic transmission that sends power to a Ford 8.8 rear axle with 3.73 gearing. Of course, performance isn’t really the point as this mid-engined wagon is more about standing out from the crowd.
