Description
These were toy cars about 10" to 12" inches long that got their power from a ribbed T-handle that you pulled through the car that spun a large center wheel. They were pretty fast.

Joe is right. The SSP series was a Kenner product, going back to 1969. Kenner was a division of the General Mills company at the time. In 1977, Kenner was bought by Hasbro. Hasbro, in turn, dropped the Kenner name by 1980. SSPs ended production around 1975.
there was reproduction ones made in the mid 90s by Hasbro
I had an SSP Racer as a child. When I got it out to show my son, the wheels cracked apart on the way down the driveway. Guess they'd gotten brittle after all those years. 😕
