Those old kits are readily available and you can build some neat cars with them.. Dynamic chassis work well under them, soldered up brass works fine. Even the old Womps can be cut up and used under them.
A very similiar car is the old Strombecker Dirt Track racer from the 60's. I used to make those bodies and built a few cars with them. You can get a nice resin of the dirt racer from Big Donkey. They are little smaller than the midget, but not much. The big Midget is called 1/18 scale and that is probably about right. Hard to beat the look of American open wheelers from the 40's thru the 60's.
These are some crusty old cars buit using the dirt tracker body.
