This is a very ingenious and unique Lionel 3470 Operating Balloon Target Launcher Car from 1962-64. The car is equipped with a blower motor that runs on two D Cell batteries. When you put the batteries in and turn it on, it blows a stream of air up that will actually levitate your target balloon a few inches above it in the air. This car is great for target practice with your arsenal of missile launching cars! This launcher car features plastic trucks, operating knuckle couplers, and metal wheels and axles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-5: Good based on visual appearance.
