This dune buggy-style electric ride-on car was produced by the Kenner Products Company of Cincinnati, Ohio, near the end of the 1960s and features a single-piece red plastic molded body as well as an electric motor that is connected to a center-mounted power wheel with forward and reverse that also provides steering. Additional features include front and rear light lenses, plastic outer wheels with metal hubcaps, bumperettes, a white steering wheel, a horn, a red seat, and a drive selector. This Dune Buggy is now offered at no reserve in West Hartford, Connecticut.
The Kenner Dune Buggy is said to have been made in 1969 only, and this example features a molded red plastic body with flared wheel arches, a removable hood, head and taillight lenses, and front and rear bumperettes with bright covers. A faux fuel cap is positioned on the left side, with a missing part visible on the right. The left-rear bumperette cover is missing, and imperfections are shown in the gallery.
The metal wheels have faded paint and are mounted with plastic tires.
The cockpit features a red seat aft of a white plastic three-spoke steering wheel with a black horn button on the center hub, a black drive selector, and a foot pedal. The steering wheel access panel has a chipped edge, and a crack is visible on the top spoke.
The removable hood panel reveals a horn and six-volt battery, which the seller notes has been replaced in preparation for sale. A battery charger is included.
The white power wheel provides forward and reverse drive as well as steering.
