This is such a classic toy, and I used to have one when I was a kid. Assembly is simple. It took only about a half hour to put together, and once together, it's a really solid toy. My kids love all the fun little details like the horn, the gas tank, and the trunk. It really makes them feel like they're driving a car just like mommy and daddy. It's weatherproof, so you don't have to feel bad leaving it in the yard in a rain storm.
