The Automoblox is not just a regular, good old-fashioned wooden car; it is a unique toy combined with innovative thinking, of using the best of the past and the goods of the present; it is a fusion of heirloom craftsmanship and ultra-modern styling, transformed into a mix-and-match design system that allows children to collect and create their own unique car styles, while experiencing joy, imagination and creativity.

Starting with a stylish wooden body, kids add wheels, windows, and unique customizing details; each car in the series has its own unique VIN number, just like a real car; all cars can mix and match with others in the series to create a very unique ride, while your child can actually learn valuable skills using good-old fashioned design – back to the future.
