specialized car models

JoHan made the '65 or '66 Cadillac ambulance/hearse. They've been OOP for some time and are pricey when found. The same outfit made the '68 Plymouth Fury police cars. I think they are still available from Mr. Spaulding.

AMT made a short series of 1/25th fire trucks, one of which is either coming out soon or already out. The '70 Ford Interceptor from RC/Ertl is back out too under the "AMT" brand.

That leaves the '97 Ford Crown Vic from Lindberg. It's a snapper but it is detailed well. The biggest booboo is that the wheels are not the usual plain black steel wheels. The kit uses chrome wheel/wheel covers. HTH.

There was also a '37(?) Lasalle hearse from Aurora (IIRC) set up as a surfer's buggy. Not terribly detailed and I think it was 1:32. Aurora also did a garbage truck and some other vehicles in this scale.

yes, thanks

I don't think Okey has them, but there's still a boatload of 'em available on ebay. Usually under $30, although some sellers think they're worth more. Ignore them.
