Notes
This Cadilllac Police car was made between 1966-68 and has an original shining black paint finish, red (opaque) roof light, straight aerial. Concave spun wheels with suspension. As-new , fine tread original tyres. Matte black baseplate (minor scuff). Paper ‘POLICE’ labels on the doors (tiniest of nicks to one). Complete ‘POLICE’ labels bonnet and boot.
Presents well with none of the expected chipping at bumpers or roof. Couple of very fine, thin scratches on the roof (barely visible). Occasional small mark to the paint finish visible under scrupulous inspection.
The pictorial card box is exceptionally crisp and strongly-coloured with resistant end flaps. Little partical thickness thumb tear at a small end flap. Very light mottling to the top surface and at an end flap. Period pencilled price.
A sought-after issue.
