Most of you have probably heard of the V-RROOM! Engine by Mattel. But, did you know that there was also a ZA_ZOOOM! Engine made by Louis Marx Toys around the
same time? Well as a matter of fact, Mattel sued Marx Toys in 1965 for infringement of their patents and trademarks. Here's Patent art for the Marx
ZA-ZOOOM! Engine.

Hey Ron,
I've seen a few of those online, but don't know much about them. Isn't that the one that looks like a V-Twin? Any idea who it was made by or what year they made them? |

I guess I'll post this here too. Found this item for sale on E-Bay with a "Buy-it-Now" price of..... drum roll please...... $85.00 !!. YIKES!!!
It's an old Post Corn Flakes Mattel Toy offer from the 1960's on the back of a cereal box. Makes you wonder how a cereal box survives for 40+ years
intact, doesn't it? Must have found it in the house of a hoarder... LOL! There were 5 Grand prize winners that received a Mattel Stallion Bicycle, 200
first prize winners received a toy package that included a Mattel V-RROOM! Hot Rodder Engine and 3 other toys. The 1000 fourth prize winners received just the
Mattel V-RROOM! Hot Rodder Engine
