Abstract

A toy vehicle has a first and a second surface which are spaced apart from one another and reversibly serve as the top and bottom of a vehicle. When one of the surfaces is serving as the top of the vehicle the opposite surface of the vehicle is serving as the bottom of the vehicle. The vehicle includes wheel members which are capable of supporting the vehicle over a support surface no matter which of the surfaces of the vehicle is serving as the top or the bottom. Also incorporated in the vehicle is an inverting mechanism which alternately inverts the vehicle such that the surface serving as the top of the vehicle after inverting serves as the bottom of the vehicle and the surface serving as the bottom of the vehicle after inverting serves as the top of the vehicle.
