Description: This is a All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Explorer! A stylish, rugged indoor-outdoor 6-wheel riding toy for small children, durable enough to carry as much as 200 pounds. It has lots of action and even comes with 2 play figures that fit inside the front compartment (and fit up and down the steps on the ATV's rear fold-down panel). Measures 18-1/2" long, 10" wide and 13" high.

The ATV was originally introduced with American Flag lithograph stickers on both sides. Sometime during it's production, two of the side lithograph strickers were changed from flag designs to Scientific Exploration (cartoonish) designs.

• FPT30147 - White plastic All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) Explorer with a red seat and a big round yellow steering wheel that turns both the front and rear axles for ultimate manuverability. A red push-button horn in the middle of the steering wheel sounds "beep-beep" when pushed. A large knob on the base activates a motor sound. The front of the base has a clear plastic cab with 2 seat holes sized to fit the two removable accessory figures. A yellow door lowers at the rear, opening a space to store other toys inside the ATV. When closed, the door resembles the rear of a car with molded "tail lights", a tag marked "FP-980" a fisher-Price logo, and a recessed knob area to lower the door. When lowered, the door reveals a hidden stairway for accessory figures to go inside the ATV. Left sticker litho pictures an American Flag and "USA" under "980" and a explorer seated at a desk in front of wavy lines on a screen. Right sticker litho features an American Flag with "Fisher-Price ATV Explorer" under the flag.

  • FPT2057 - Dark yellow plastic round figure with a smiling face (open mouth smile with 2 lines) and wearing a white hardhat. *See "Variations" below.
