Description
Maybe you can actually help me with this one. In about 1975-1976 I got this toy as a Christmas gift: It was blue plastic track snapped together to make a highway. There was a red "Bandit" battery operated car and a police car as well. You put them both on the track and they chased each other around and around on the "highway." I have spoken to every toy afficionado I know and no one has heard of this toy except me. I know it was around for at least a couple of years because I got it for two birthdays in a row. Does this spark a memory in anybody out there? It was called "Police Chase Getaway"

I have this toy. I too got it for Christmas way back when and have enjoyed it for many years and now my kids even play with it from time to time. It was made by Sears and is called highway police chase.
I had this toy in the 70's and loved it. I wish I still had it.
This was my biggest Christmas disappointment ever. I wanted this SO bad, and got it. My dad went to put it together, and it turned out it was broken. We took it back, and it was out of stock. I was heartbroken.
I got this for xmas in the 70s, a friend had it and i wanted it soooo bad. I got the scaled down Sears version (it didn't have the toll booth section or whatever it is). It was also missing an exit ramp (or it didn't fit right, can't remember). It was a lot more fun at my friends house then it ever was at mine
I had this and LOVED IT. It was probably one of my favorite toys. I cant believe i would have thrown it away... however it disappeared in some manner.
I was just looking in a box of old toys I had and came across this game too. I remember how much fun it was. I had been keeping toys for when I had kids, but I think they would probably not appreciate it as much as we did way back when.
I had this toy in the mid-70's. I loved it. Thanks for the pic. Everyone I ever tried to explain it to thought I was mistaken and that I had a Motorific set, but I knew the difference. It appears in the 1976 Sears Wish Book on page 449. I think I had it a year or two before that, though. Unfortunately, all it says there is "made in Japan", so I could never identify it.
