Any Idea What My Dad is Driving?

It's around 1956 or 1957. If you notice, he has converted it to a "ride-a-way" using my wagon and a camp stool.

Best guess, Simplicity Model FB.  Could be the Montomery Wards version too.

This one looks very similar. No brand name on it though.

@rmaynard  Did some more research. The only brand that I can find with the flat sheet metal cover up the center of the handle bars is Montgomery Wards. All others seem to have open pipe from the frame all the way up.

Looking at the photo of Bob's dad makes me wonder what OSHA would think about sitting on a folding stool in a Little red wagon.

Might be a David Bradley. One HP.

Dan, I think that you are right. My father was a big fan of Montgomery Wards. Of course, at age six, I was not interested in the make, just that he would let me ride with him (no helmet, no gloves, no knee pads). I survived.
