Nobody owns the rights to a Crown Vic kit but Ford. If a manufacturer wants to make one, they pay Ford first, so Motormax making them in diecast has no effect. I agree with everyone that Revell's choice of using the 95-97' CV, which Lindberg did incredibly well, is a poor one. The 98-11' CV was one of the longest running body styles ever, and still nada in plastic....so far, it just seems a really bad idea, they'd have been better off tooling up a new body style Charger for a police car toy model, I'm sure it would sell incredibly....
