Vintage Orbit 1/4 Quarter Midget 1950's
Vehicle Description

This is a 1957 or ’58 Orbit “7” Quarter Midget. They were made a few years in Connecticut. I have only seen one other. It is very stylish asphalt type car & has the 4-bar type front suspension with an aluminum axle. It was in its original paint, (Burgundy) when we got it. The fiberglass body has not seen many repairs. The only places needing repair are; on the left side beside driver-the glass is warped & cracked in a 10-12” area. There is a crack on the right side of the nose about 8’ long. There is about a 2-3” vertical strip cut out on the tail; probably for engine access. These areas should be visible in photos.  The latches that hold tail piece on work perfectly.   The paint was stripped off & got a quick black paint job till I had time to do something better. It looks pretty good lettered up. Overall in good condition. The factory nerf bars, roll bar, and rear bumper in great shape. Front bumper is for looks only; it’s copper tubing. The factory cast aluminum grill with the “Orbit” name looks great. Has a really neat cast aluminum gas pedal.  Has original steering wheel. Front axle has a repair on the tab where steering attaches. Not pretty but is strong and doesn't affect the strength of axle. It has it’s original wheels; not modern industrial cart wheels. The tires on the right side are original racing slicks; the right rear General tire even has “1/4 Midget” cast on side walls. Left side tires are new replacements. There is no engine.
