Shriners decide what unit they want to join and then buy their own mini car or scooter or whatever equipment they need to be a part of the unit. Not sure who the company is but they had some motorized 3 wheelers you could order that had a few models on display a couple years ago at our imperial session in Houston, when I bought my mini car I got it from another Shriner in Shreveport La. That no longer used it.Is there a list of parade cars y'all approve of, or is it just a chapter by chapter choice? I've seen different vehicles by different chapters or whatever you call them. One group had High Wheeler Bicycles, one had Mini 18 wheelers, one had the mini speed boats, and on and on.
As for buying a brand new one…. I couldn’t say ?
The rules aren’t very strict because we want everyone to join a unit and have fun while raising money to help our kids !
