237 - Oldsmobile "Sheriff" Car


$39.99

Based on 1961’s Oldsmobile Super 88, this classic American police car model was released in 1962. Corgi produced around 615,000 – an indication of how influential US cop shows and movies were at the time. Given ‘Glidamatic’ suspension and a roof-mounted emergency light, it was perfect for car chases across the living room floor – no doubt receiving chips to its paintwork as it collided with skirting boards and rammed into the hapless getaway car model!

With its iconic black and white livery and silver foil ‘County Sheriff’ roundels on the doors, it stayed in the Corgi range until 1966. Corgi went on to produce two further Oldsmobile Super 88 models – a rather sedate family saloon (Corgi 235), then in 1966, the classic feature-laden Man from U.N.C.L.E.‘Thrush-Buster’ (Corgi 497).

Here come the cops.

Realistic and beautifully detailed. Now how about 1963 Chevrolet Sting Ray?

Oldsmobile Sheriff Car

This replica is exactly like the one I had as a kid. Only had it a day or so when a neighbor's little brother asked to see it and threw it into the street severely damaging it.
So to be able to "step back in time" and get this same car in mint condition was awesome. The classic black and white paint job with bright silver trim is flawless. A very sharp model that I now display with my other collectibles. Two thumbs up ! ! !
