Road Rovers - Cars

Road Rovers were a series of very cartoonish, almost balloon like cars produced by Hallmark Cards in the mid 1970s and revived in the mid 1980s. Early models were loosely based on vehicles typically seen on the road like fire engines, moving vans, and such and had metal bases painted the same color as the body. Later models featured two series: several were updated versions of the original cars, and then there were new models based on objects such as vacuum cleaners or piggy banks. The later versions featured plastic bases.

Models were sold in 1974, 76, 83, and 84.  (Mike Pigott, Diecast Collector, Aug 2023, pp 53-56)
