Picked up at 40th NW Bug Run; $100 for pair if people are keeping tabs on such things. Police van's motor doesn't really work, but body looks pretty nice. Anyone know the maker?

It looks like the Okyasu.

Thanks - it does! I did look at that site, but I saw the remote-control boxes and didn't dig further to see they made friction motors as well.

It's interesting that the box shows a bay window.
