Abstract
A toy vehicle includes a vehicle body having at least one substantially transparent portion and an opaque portion. The substantially transparent portion includes a substantially stripe-shaped pattern extending from the front of the vehicle body to the rear sides thereof. The opaque portion is defined as the entire body except for the substantially transparent portion. A plurality of illuminating devices are disposed within the body and proximate the stripe-shaped pattern of the substantially transparent portion so that when each of the illuminating devices emits light, the emitted light is transmitted through the substantially transparent portion for viewing from the exterior side of the body. An operable control circuit causes the lights to be sequentially illuminated along the stripe-shaped pattern, thereby simulating vehicle motion.
