    -the Four Winns, 20 feet long, white (with the red "racing stripe")
  • The truck
    -the Ford F150, eight cylinder, 4.6 liter engine, fully loaded, black
  • The bike
    -the Honda, sport bike, 600cc engine, black, with silver trim

Little Men: There is nothing like riding in your car seat in the back of your Mom's minivan and seeing that toy you must have for your G I Joes to ride in.

  • The fire truck
    -the Tonka, red, with siren and ladder
  • The dump truck
    -the Tonka, yellow, package deal with toy shovel
  • The crane
