The Radio Flyer Wagon is the iconic vehicle of the Radio Flyer company. There are many types of Radio Flyer wagons, such as the Radio Flyer Voyager Canopy Wagon, although the most popular is the #18 Classic Red Wagon. The founder of the Radio Flyer Wagon company, Antonio Pasin, was born in Venice. At the tender age of 16, he dreamed of starting a new life in America. His family helped pay for his journey, and soon he was living in Chicago.

He was a woodworker by trade, but had a difficult time looking for work in that field. Eventually, after working in odd jobs, he saved up enough money to purchase his own equipment and began making wooden wagons in his basement. Soon after that, he formed a company to make and distribute his wagons, which he initially called the Liberty Coaster Company. He renamed the company Radio Steel and Manufacturing in 1930. He named his first steel wagon the Radio Flyer Wagon to represent the idea of flight.

One of my best childhood memories is going for a ride in my wagon. This wagon was given to me as a gift for my 8th birthday. It was a Radio Flyer made of wood and it had a Radio Flyer wagon canopy already attached to it. It proved to be a really good thing since I would go out and use this wagon at all times of the day. It helped protect me from the rays of the sun when I would use my wagon on some hot days.

I had a lot of memorable adventures on that wagon. I remember riding it downhill one time and forgot that I didn’t know how to put on the brakes. I was really lucky I didn’t figure in an accident. I never told anyone about that incident and it has been one of the most well guarded secrets of my life. I’m definitely sure my life would have been totally different if I didn’t receive that wooden wagon for my birthday.
