The Chinese are getting quick
 
I remember I had a New Bright remote control Fiero when I was a kid, it was pretty cool - working lights and I think horn too.

New Bright's been around for so long? I thought they're a recent Chinese company making toys.
 
I bought my son a New Bright Dodge Ram remote control truck,. quite huge actually. I enjoy playing with it too as it goes over anything!

Yep, they go back at least that long.
 
Here's the toy I had I think it was a cheapie thing - maybe $20 or so new, but the detail was pretty fantastic to me, and it's pretty big, too.

Scroll down half way, ebay shows old listings oddly. A New Bright Fiero, just like I once had.

Lazy me, lol. Wow that is indeed detailed. Even the wheels look exactly the same as the real ones. Not bad for an old toy.
 
In Poland I always wanted this toy Fiat 124p, remote (by cable) controlled and quite detailed for a communist mid 80s toy.

Those are pretty cool. I have seen those cable remote cars before, big from European/Japanese makers in the 50s and 60s. Here's a nice fintail:
 

 
I have one like this, but in a nicer box. Should take some pics, it's pretty cool:
