The exquisite "old school" model takes its style from early 20th century race winners. Press a button on the outside of the car and watch under the hood as 16 fully-functioning valves and the fan move in the mechanical V8 engine as it moves the car forward. The transmission switches between idle, reverse and race modes. The spring-suspension front forks and rubberized wheels ensure rapid acceleration. Both engine and transmission work from a rubber-band-driven belt. Cut from natural wood, the car is ready to assemble without glue or chemicals. Assembly time is 6-7 hours. Ages 14+ up. Approximate size 18 1/2"L x 5"W x 3 3/4"H.
