From the back cover of Batman Family #7 (1976):
OK, OK, I was too old for it by then, but man...just look how cool it was!! And who could resist this slogan:
That's a surprisingly small subset, you know...
Maybe I could hunt down the company and buy one today, just for old times' sake:
Nope, they were destroyed in the explosion that provoked the Civil War. Damn it!! If only the New Warriors had been registered!!

by the time either Big Wheels or The Green Machine appeared on the market I was too old and too big for either one.
I really missed out because the younger kids in my neighberhood had a lot of fun with these things.
I did become an expert with the Frisbee though.

Sorry to break it to you Snell, but the Marx company went out of business toward the mid-1980s. Huffy owns the Green Machine now and it's not nearly as pretty.
I didn't have THIS, but I DID have some weird 6 wheeled arm-crank controlled moon-buggy tank thing as a kid (1970s).
It was low to the ground, and had independent hand cranks that you could go forward, back, turn or do 360's.
3 small black plastic "knobby" wheels on each side and a white "moon-buggy" frame.
Coolest thing ever.
We rode it WELL into the 1980's until the plastic tires eroded away.
If only I knew what it was CALLED, I'd pull up a pic to share.
Good times.
De--sure, in our universe...but in Marvel 616, Marx was making these right up until nitro exploded...
Never had one of those. Had a really cool pedal vehicle that looked like a chopper.
Friends dad backed over it so I punched my friend in the nose. (not bitter even 30 years later.)
