Here's a little something I picked up the other day from an old friend of mine, a nice little tin-litho Police Car from China. I have absolutely no clue as to who the manufacturer is but it appears to be '70s or '80s vintage. The car measures 5 1/2" (14cm) L x 2 1/2" (6.4cm) W x 2 3/8" (6cm) H and has a whip antenna which might lead one to believe it's an R/C car, but it isn't. The friction motor is in the trunk and as one rolls the car smartly along, sparks fly from the trunk into the passenger compartment that, when viewed from above, makes a real nice display in the translucent red plastic dome. It's a terrific addition to the Fire and Emergency vehicle collection. Enjoy!
