Need Help in Identifying

Went to the Thrift Store today. 
Found this neat looking car. 
It for a Cabbage Patch Doll - Small Size. 
It is marked on the bottom. 
1984 Original Appalachian ArtWorks Inc. 
Manufactured for Coleco Industries 
Made in Spain 
Coleco filed for bankruptcy in 1988, so it could have
been introduced between 1984-1988.
It's 10 inches in length 
7 inches in height (up to the top of the windshield) 
7 inches in width 
I have a McDonald's/Madame Alexander doll to 
show size of  the CPK doll that used this car. 
If you turn the crank, the car moves slowly and
plays music. 
Missing hood ornament. Maybe other parts?
I have looked on the net, E-Bay and in different toy
catalogs from the 80's and have found nothing. 
If you know anything about this item or know someone
who may know something,  please leave a comment. 
Thanks in advance.
Thanks to Shelly I now know it is a
"Cabbage Patch Kids Musical Buggy".

    I don't know anything about it but it's cute. It reminds me of the Clampetts car. Interesting find

    Thanks, It is unusual. I was surprised to find it still working after all those years.
