Go Kart 400 Brochure


GK400brochure1.jpg (41203 bytes)

This pamphlet appears to date from about 1958 and depicts the original Go kart 400 (prior to the addition of sissy rails with the 400B). The Go Kart 400 was the first kart ever to go into production.

The inside of the pamphlet features an exploded view of the assembly. Kits figured heavily into early Go Kart sales. In fact, prior to formation of Go Kart Mfg., Duffy Livingstone sold kits (of an earlier design without dropped front axle) on Sunday afternoons at the Rose Bowl parking lot. Those kits were created at his GP muffler shop and instructions for assembly were often scratched on shopping bags.
