Abstract
The toy vehicle is comprised of a chassis composed of a relatively hard plastic and a body composed of a relatively soft, elastomeric plastic. The chassis includes a box-like frame having upstanding walls, each of said walls having an outwardly issuing flange adjacent the upper edge thereof. The body is formed with walls forming a downwardly facing recess, each wall having adjacent its upper edge an outwardly directed groove for receiving therein the various flanges on the upstanding walls of the box-like frame. Owing to the elasticity of the body, the walls forming the downwardly facing recess can be flexed or stretched so as to permit the flanges on the upstanding walls to be introduced into the grooves and retained therein when the elastomeric material constituting the body is allowed to contract or return to its non deformed condition. In this way, the chassis and body are firmly held together and constitute for all intents and purposes a unitary structure with which the child can play.
