Here is one of those cool patrols, in a 1977 situation.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I like any cruiser casting, but the front bumper and push bars on this one make the casting look cartoonishly clunky. Maybe if I had one and could look at it from a different angle, I'd think differently. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
|
The original casting dates to 1998 (and was designed to be a Bluesmobile right from the start). They have a 1977 Dodge Monaco on tap for 2010- and I'm confident it will look much better than this one! |

I'm SURE it will look much better..... We can get a decent Monaco cruiser from Matchbox for 97cents. I wish JL would do a 1971 Galaxie or a 1980's Chevy "brick." Cop cars and taxi's galore!!

While this is true, Matchbox doesn't have "The Dukes Of Hazzard" license and JL does. And collectors have been begging JL to do the accurate '77 Monaco instead of re-releasing the '74 in all the Hazzard (and surrounding counties) paint schemes. Who knows- maybe they'll tool up the Fury and Coronet front and rear fascias and get their money's worth out of the tooling! |

Okay, good point, Swifty, I wouldn't have thought of that. |
