Mattel (Hot Wheels) made the first of these in 1981.  It's called a
"Sunagon".  In addition to the pop-up plastic top, it has a small motorcycle
across the back bumper.  These typically came in orange/tan and light
blue/medium blue and were made in Malasia.  I have several of these including
one still in the original package.  I also have a rare purple colored one,
made in India, still in it's original package.
Yes, I'm a nut!
