I think Corgi had a similar one but I could be wrong
That one shown does resemble the Metropolis Police ones Corgi put out ^_^

The Corgi police car was a 1974 Buick Regal. The Majo police car is actually a Dodge Phoenix (1970 Plymouth Fury export model).

I've been chasing the Majo version down myself...the only ones I've found are a little above where I want to go. Haven't looked lately though...

Great photos Serge, and what a fun thing to do, making cool scenes with your models and scale buildings/accessories. I miss being able to do that myself, having fun with the collection.

Thanks for sharing it!


Still need one or more of those Majo police cars myself, I'm remembering back in the early 2000ths, probably '00 or '01, one of my guides listed its value at like $25, which sounded alright, about the max I'd want to pay for something really desired in those days, anyways, you could never find them for auction listed less than $45 at the time, so I never got one, I imagine the prices have gone higher by now.
