The Donaldson Manufacturing Co.
The Donaldson Manufacturing Co. was based at 3150 Dodge Rd. Kansas City, Kansas. They advertised their cars emerging from the blueprints through mock up to assembly line just like the adult auto mobiles. Every part was "road tested" from bumper to bumper.
The 1957 Sunliner 500 Jr. came with a high impact styrene plastic body with the color built in. They also were offered in two versions pedal and electric powered.
In 1958 they offered the Sunliner 500 Jr. and the Edisel. They were offered in electric and Pedal powered like the 1957. But these bodies were made in Fiberglass.
All three models use the same frames, bumpers and hub caps.
