A toy vehicle comprising:
- a miniature tractor trailer truck body and chassis including a cab portion and an exhaust pipe extending upwardly along said cab portion;
- means for movably supporting said body and chassis on a supporting surface;
- a vehicle related accessory movably mounted on the exterior of said body and chassis for movement between first and second positions thereon, the movement of said accessory being independent of the movement of said body and chassis on said supporting surface;
- sound generating means on said body and chassis responsive to movement of said accessory for generating engine sounds related to said vehicle;
- and
- smoke producing means for discharging an induced puff of simulated smoke through said exhaust pipe in response to movement of said accessory on said body and chassis, said smoke producing means including a bellows for inducing the discharge of simulated smoke through said exhaust pipe.
