Artifact Overview

On June 11, 1979, McDonald's introduced its first national Happy Meal promotion. Called Circus Wagon, it included six different cardboard boxes designed to look like festively decorated circus wagons. McDonald's again brought back a circus theme with this March 8-April 12, 1991 St. Louis regional promotion of geared action toys. When this vehicle was moved, the figure would also move.
