Abstract
A toy vehicle having a changeable appearance figure includes a body having a support chassis secured thereto. A pivotal beam is pivotally secured to the chassis and pivotally movable with respect to the chassis and body. The rear portion of the pivotal beam supports a pair of rotatable rear wheels while the front portion of the pivotal beam supports a simultated vehicle engine. The body defines a hood aperture through which the simulated engine partially extends. The beam may be pivoted between a first position in which the simulated engine extends partially through the hood aperture and the rear wheels are generally received within the vehicle body and an alternate position in which the rear wheels are pivoted downwardly to extend from the vehicle body and in which the engine extends upwardly an increased distance through the hood aperture. A detent mechanism is coupled between the pivotal beam and the chassis to detent the pivotal beam in either the alternate positions. A pair of enlarged rear wheels are configured to be received upon the rear wheels of the vehicle to provide an enlarged rear tire on each side of the vehicle.
