gasman Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 gasman, This is a cool idea, and it shouldn't be an impossible conversion-the two-door and four-door Foci hatches are the same size, so it ought to be a matter of cutting new door lines, moving the b-pillar, and modifying the door panels. Stock-size wheels and tires can be found on the Maisto die-cast SVT Focus, though I don't know where to get the great European package multispoke wheels in your photo. I've had the kit to do this conversion for a few years now. I just havent started it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59-Desoto Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I would love to see some of those big long 50ies to 70ies cars come back as 2 or 4 dr kits. I was always a drop top guy myself. I would like to see some of the later sixties big Dodge and Plymouths tooled up in any form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronw Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) Well talking cop cars how about the late 70's-90 Ford LTD / Crown vic, 80's Chevy Caprice Classic and Dodge Diplomat / Plymouth Gran Fury. All three would also be useful for taxi's, demo derby cars and old fart cruisers. I'd like to see a late 70's Chevy Nova and Ford "baby" LTD too, a combination of the gas crunch and kinder gentler police managers saw a lot of police departments adopting these smaller cars. I want to build one of San Francisco PD's baby blue Nova "police services" cars, the only time in the departments history that they didn't use the blue and gold SFPD 7 point star on their cars. Useful for police cars but also just a good looking car in my opinion is the early-mid 70's Plymouth Satellite.

AMT did a Ford Interceptor Police Car, it doesn't say so on the box but it is a 70 Ford Galaxie. My understanding is the LTD is just a different trim level of the Galaxie. Old style model but still a decent kit if you can live with metal axles. It wouldn't hurt to see a more modern version of this kit though, I like those big Fords.
