Tex's Ride
Saturday Evening Post (60 years ago)
April 7, 1951, The Saturday Evening Post
ran a very popular cover
of three young boys staring in awe at a mint H-D
Tex's Ride
by Stevan Dohanos
who is best remembered as one of the Saturday Evening Post's
most popular cover artists (over 100 covers)
I remember very fondly staring in awe at big Harley dressers
when I was about the same age as those three boys

www.king midget car club.org
King Midget was the only small car
continuously manufactured for nearly a quarter of a century
from 1946 until operations ceased in 1970
The 1946 King Midget was a single-seater
styled like a quarter midget race car
built from 1947-1951
about 500 were produced
length- 7' 10"
width- 3' 10"
weight- 330 lbs
single seat
motor- one cylinder
6 horsepower
body- steel
chassis- wood
wooden crate is how the kit would be shipped to you
Kits were sold by small ads in magazines
and started as low as $50
increasing as the kit became more complete
By 1951, complete cars could be purchased for $350
In 1951, a much more practical car was offered
Called the Series II
it resembled the Jeep with its square-cornered fenders
Intended for shopping or the golf course
the car gained a considerable following
and was produced for five years
It is still popular in Shriners parades
