Autotunes music movement toy vehicle

Abstract

An educational and entertaining toy vehicle that includes a body member that is designed for including a mechanical music movement. The music movement is coupled to the rear axle via a gear system that winds the spring of the music movement through a first gear ratio while pushing the vehicle in the reverse direction and propels the vehicle through a second gear ratio on release of the vehicle. The release of said spring is controlled by a speed regulator. The toy vehicle is further enhanced by including a toy figure that is representative of the included tune and a lenticular image that wraps around a substantial portion of the top of said vehicle.
