What is the name for the sort of toy car you push in one direction and it continues slowly in that direction? These ones were usually styled as 4x4 vehicles and almost moved like a rock crawler with the 4wd set to low. They could be pushed forward or in reverse (and then would go in reverse).

Well, you could get it up to higher speeds by holding the car in your hand and repeating the "pushing" action several times...
