I have both the Welly and Matchbox versions, and this one is much better than either of them.

Support your local demo derby.

That does have really good detail for a 1/64 car. Nice to see that the entire body is diecast unlike the MB version. Tailights and door handles are also painted as well. What brand is that James?

Hate to bust your bubble- but I have to strongly disagree with the replication quality of the real car The trunk lid is not long enough! This makes the car appear to have a shorter wheelbase than it does in fullsize! How do I know? I drive a police Crown Vic Interceptor on occasion for a nearby Department as an Auxiliary Police Sgt when called out. One night while looking in the trunk for flares, the lid came down on my head - no injury , but it did hurt! That lid was huge- not as short as the Realtoy scaled copy!
Thus I have to say the MB , Welly or SpecCast ( to name a few) versions are far superior in actual replication and represent the correct wheelbase !

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
Have to agree with DaWeber. All Crown vics over the years have long hood and deck areas. They are long and big cars. That picture looks like the back end is too squatty. Even so, it appears to be a very nicely done casting, and I wouldn't mind having one for my cop cruiser collection... nice acquisition. Can you give us a shot from the front or profile view? :)

The SpecCast, to me, is the standard...
