ABSTRACT:
A toy vehicle includes a body supported by a plurality of rolling wheels and a front windshield. A trunk lid is pivotally supported at the rear of the vehicle body and is spring biased toward a closed position. A convertible top is pivotally supported by the vehicle and defines a curved upper surface and a rear window surface. A sector gear is joined to the convertible top and is pivotable therewith. A power drive unit includes a motor and plurality of coupling gears which couple motor power to the sector gear. A battery power source and a plurality of on/off switches are operatively coupled to the motor and battery power source to induce energizing of the motor. The convertible top may be either raised or lowered by energizing the drive motor in an action in which the outer surface of the convertible top provides a cam-like member forcing the trunk lid open to facilitate lowering the convertible top into the body or raising it from the body interior.
