ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle (10) is provided having a configuration to simulate any desired vehicle. The toy vehicle includes a base (12) with a unitary spring-powered motor assembly (16) having a rear drive wheel assembly (18, 20), pivotably mounted within the base. The axle of the rear drive wheel assembly includes a detent (32) which coacts with an integral arm (36) formed in the base to lock the unitary spring-powered motor and drive wheel assembly in the wound position. Upon tapping of a finger against the top of the housing, the housing rotates downwardly to release the motor and allow the vehicle to accelerate forwardly.
