Description: This is a 5-piece put-together, take-apart Original Little People playset. The set includes a car, a small trailor, a boat that fits on the trailor, and two Little People figures. Eventhough this set was made for only 2 years, there are quite a few variations among the 5 pieces. The car is a descendant of the cars used in 1963-1965's #932 Amusement Park, except the car used in this set has larger wheels, and a c-shaped trailor hitch on the back to pull the accessory trailor. In 1968 the car had 2 metal rivets through the bottom, but omitted in 1969. In addition, the car color varies. The trailor could be either red or white. The boat could be either white top, red base, or blue top, white base. The boat is another descendant of the #932 Amusement Park. The boat used in this set, however, is a bit larger, and it has 2 holes in the bottom to stay attached to the trailor. Variations also exist among the figures. This set may be small, short lived, and have a ton of variations, but it is still rather hard to find.
Accessories: Please remember that the following accessories are the accessories that are pictured in the Fisher-Price catalogues. These should be used as guidelines only, as other variations may exist. All figures have a Wood Body and a Wood Head:
