Model kit history question: MPC Rosco police car kit

[Mark B]

Does anyone know if the Dukes of Hazzard Rosco police car was the first release of that particular kit?  I know it has been released under many other titles since (TJ Hooker, Batman, CHP) but the Rosco version is the earliest I recall.

Yes, the Dukes version was the first release with the four-door body.

Before that it was the Force 440 kit with a two-door body.

I knew about that one but wasn’t sure whether to include it as part of the history because it’s a 2-door.

Thanks!  Some neat info there- particularly that it started life as a promo model.
