And they have discontinued the Dukes of Hazard "Roscoe Patrol Car" as well! The "Roscoe Patrol Car" plastic model, which was for a time issued as the "Joker Goon Car", was a '77 Dodge Monaco, the ONLY model kit that could be converted (with hard work) into a '74 Monaco (and you ALL know how important THAT is!) Damnit! I gave a mint, still plastic wrapped "Joker Car", AND the same "Roscoe Patrol Car" kits to children, with the promise they NEVER open them (the value was already high). Now I have NO chance to produce another '74 Monaco masterpiece! SUCKS!

BTW, THIS is why y'all want plenty of available models of Roscoe's '77 Monaco squad car! [URL=http://s213.photobucket.com/user/gocanesba/media/Blumo1.jpg.html] [/URL]

What scale is that?

Fix the cigarette lighter.

Parz, I ASSURE you that the cigarette lighter is accurate in this model! (ie, missing) (LOL! The empty, rolled up soft packs of cigarettes on the dash are "Chesterfields"! I don't play!) Bill, it's 1/25 scale. Give me a '72-77 Monaco, in ANY scale, and I'll make you a Bluesmobile! :)

There are a bunch of the Roscoes on eBay; cheap as chips! You better stock up now. Also spotted some diecast Bluesmobiles in 1/43 and 1/64 if anyone needs them for 28mm gaming.

Give me a '72-77 Monaco, in ANY scale, and I'll make you a Bluesmobile! This warms my heart. Not sure what I'm gonna do if gals can't buy Confederate flag bikinis anymore, though.

Thanks. Just noticed, That pic was taken before the push bars on the front were added :( BTW, made the license plates from thick Tin Foil, reversed etched the letters, numerals, so it has raised detail :)
