  • Patent number: 4244144
    Abstract: A toy motor vehicle includes a body with a front end section, a read end section and an intermediate section for slidably interconnecting the front and rear ends for movement between a retracted, adjacent, position and an expanded, spaced apart, position. Wheels are provided on the end sections for supporting the vehicle to roll over a playing surface and a manually controlled drive element is provided for selectively moving the front and rear end sections toward and away from each other between retracted and expanded positions. The intermediate section is provided with a number of sockets of distinct shape and playing pieces of matching distinct shapes in the form of animated characters adapted to be placed in particular sockets of the same shape for exposure when the front and rear end sections are moved apart to the expanded position.
