toy car

Child's small automobile

A toy car is a miniature model of an automobile, typically made of plastic, metal, or die-cast material, designed for play or collection.

Children race them across floors and tabletops; collectors display them in cases.

The category ranges from cheap plastic vehicles to detailed scale replicas: He still has his childhood toy cars in a shoebox somewhere.
