Description: In 1961 Fisher-Price introduced the #161 Creative Block Wagon, a rectangular wagon that holds plastic blocks and wooden dowels. By 1964, Fisher-Price took the idea a little bit further and added a seat for children to sit on and a hinged steering column with a wheel to hold or to pull the toy with. The steering wheel has a horn that goes "beep-beep" when pushed. Just like the wagon, the Creative Coaster was sold with plastic teethable blocks with holes in the center and dowels that fit through the holes in the blocks.

The wagon has a hinged steering column on the front. The steering column has a removable stick and wheel and a hinged wooden base that has a paper lithograph on the top of gas and brake peddles. The wagon rolls on red 4 balloon-type wheels that make a "clickety-click" sound when they roll. Measures 19-1/2" long, 16-1/4" high, and 11-1/4" wide. *See "Variations" below.
