tomsheehy Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) 1966 Dodge Coronet, replica of a restored Pasadena CA Police squad, built from a MCW Automotive Finishes Resin 66 Coronet 2 door sedan trans-kit mated to a Revell 67 Coronet R/T kit for chassis and other donor parts. Body and interior converted to 4 door sedan. Engine is a small block Mopar 318 from my parts department, as requested by the owner of the real car. Pasadena used a rather unique roof light platter on their squads of this era, I duplicated it with some sheet plastic, parts box spotlights and a modified JoHan police kit siren modified to look like a B&M mechanical siren. Interior detailed as per the prototype, including a 'hot sheet' desk and a 3D Motorola radio by Duncan Nordese. Paint is all Tamiya, decals were homemade. Last couple of shots were taken alongside my LAPD 68 Belvedere, built a long time ago... Edited March 15, 2023 by tomsheehy 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes John, NNL East is a go for me, but this Coronet will be residing on the West Coast by then with its full size cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
