Yes! I had the Tumble Bug dune Buggy! It had those layers 60's early 70's flower power style decals. I remember it had a little metal radio aerial, on one side of the windshield. It was there purely to overbance the whole unit, so it would return to the upright position when tumbling. Of course, it was an easy damage point and I remember heating up a replacement nail in a pair of pliers on my mother's gas stove, then plunging it into the windshield frame to weld it firmly in place!
