Chevrolet Police Car (481)


$42.99

With the same ‘split casting’ as the Chevrolet Taxi Cab (Corgi 480) and Fire Chief (Corgi 482), all three were introduced into the Corgi range in 1965. This was an era when Corgi were looking to make inroads into the lucrative American market – but also, thanks to US cop shows appearing on British TV, there was a big demand for American-themed toy cars in the UK. Police cars were a popular choice, perfect for chasing the bad guys in their getaway car across the living room carpet! 

Based on a first generation (1958) Chevrolet Impala, all three Corgis were given Glidamatic suspension, 481 also having two police figures, a roof-mounted emergency light and generic ‘Police Patrol’ stickers on the doors. The ‘split casting’ allowed the top and bottom halves to be painted separately, creating a two- tone look that perfectly suited emergency vehicles!

Size: Length: 106mm Width: 42mm Height: 35mm

Scale: 1:50

All our Corgi Toys replicas are authentic and faithful to the originals and come with their own numbered certificate of authenticity.

Beautifully Crafted Car

In my opinion, these reproductions are just as good, if not better, than the originals. If you like Chevy Police Car - buy it! Kudos to the Model Club.

Awesome toy!

These new Corgi reissues are incredibly well done, and nearly impossible to tell the difference from original Corgi toys. Beautiful! Very happy with these.
