That's some impressive collection you have got there.

And the Aurora lightbar is quite interesting piece of emergency lighting history. I read all the time, how unreliable it was, and always broken, but damn I sure would want one. Maybe because nowadays they are getting different treatment by the collectors, than back in day, used in all possible weather condition by firefighters or local PD. But it shows in the price too.


Also, it's great to see that you have updated your 'road tough' police car.

I still remember that I had a clone with POLICE lettering and no lightbar. I am also pretty sure that it was actually a slicktop, without any holes drilled in the roof. Unfortunately one day I lost it while playing outside, and it took me years before I found another one, this time with the usual HIGH WAY PATROL and SHERIFF lettering, which is still pretty much in mint condition to this day.

Nice! I'm sure that Sheriff Little will find that push bar will be useful, when trying to get the Dukes, and as well get the Rosco out of the way!

Good to hear that you are feeling better, and nice work so far. I chuckled at the sight of sheriff Little wearing the Hazzard county uniform.


As for the traffic cars, I guess you can't go wrong with either the Roseville PD, or the State Police. Both are black and white '77 Monacos, one also have the Aerodynic (so you can actually save your time by recycling either the CHP Monaco or the LAPD one from your previous projects ). Unless you feel like going all the way with that blue/white South Dakota wannabe, which happens to also be the '75 Fury.

I know what do you mean. The thing with this show is, that one car might have started the pursuit with lightbar that have single amber, and alley lights, then switch to the one without alley lights, then to double amber and alley lights, back to the aforementioned, and finally end up with double amber and no alley lights, all in the same chase.

Well, these '75 Monacos and '75 Gran Furys were already four years old when the show was being made, so the Aerodynic did make sense, and when some scenes took place in the past, the patrol cars actually have the Visibar there. And while the (in)famous 1970 Polara from the first episode was more or less a blooper, because it magically swapped place with both the Monacos mid-pursuit, for example the '75 Fury of Sheriff Little was already six years old by the time it appeared, and the '75 Coronets from Choctaw and Sweetwater actually did have the Twinsonic.

Works for me.

That site is quite useful when you are trying to make Hazzard county patrol car. And lot of the minor patrol cars could also be replicated easily thanks to their renders.

Also, from what I have noticed while watching various clips from the show, these earlier Plymouth Fury patrol cars did got the sheriff sticker on the trunk, but also just on the front fenders. And the amber flasher(s) really varied from scene to scene, I would stick with just one on the driver's side, personally.

Sharp ride. I remember that the earlier patrol cars got the Sheriff sticker in the middle of the trunk, but these didn't had it on fenders for change. On the other hand I saw one replica patrol car that had the sheriff on the trunklid like this, and also one extra Hazzard County sticker occupying the other half, so it won't feel lonely. But that was bit excessive, I have to say.

I have to admit the boxy rear window that Baardk for some reason left us with still pokes in the eye, but you've done really nice work of the car! Can't wait to chase some speeders through the Canadian countryside.

Oh, I remember that one from the old thread. Really nice paint scheme. Simple, yet cool.

Nice work once again! The car looks pretty badass, and I can't wait to see it in pursuit livery.

Looks great! I bet you will have lot of fun with this car.

Now, that's nice! Truly a TV classic. Add a generic police patch on the doors, and you will get the Impala patrol cars from Jake and the Fatman.

I only have a 1975-1977 Ford LTD base that I found on a GTA Sanandreas mods site that I'll convert over some day..

That's too bad. Though that '75 LTD would also be neat. It's just that the older one could have easily passed for the Galaxie or Custom 500 as well.

Not for this particular one. it just came to mind, while i was looking into something.
