BACK IN 1998, MATCHBOX - MATTEL WAS PLANNING THE NEW PREMIERE COLLECTION SERIES 22 "CITY POLICE" SERIES. FOUR MODELS WERE PRODUCED FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI, DALLAS, SALT LAKE CITY AND ATLANTA POLICE DEPARTMENTS. ABOUT 200 TO 300 OF EACH CITY POLICE DIECAST WERE ALREADY FACTORY PRODUCED BY THE TIME MATCHBOX - MATTEL DECIDED TO CANCEL THE SERIES. THE MODELS WERE NOT RELEASED TO THE SALES MARKETS BUT INSTEAD SUPPLIED ONLY TO THE PERSONNEL OF EACH OF THE FOUR CITY POLICE DEPARTMENTS. VERY RARE AND SCARCE VARIATION.
MODEL CONDITION = C -9 MODEL HAS A FACTORY FLAW, THE ROOF LIGHT BAR HAS A DEFECT ON THE REAR SIREN AREA BETWEEN THE LIGHT BARS, PUSHED DOWN A BIT COVERING THE ROOF VEHICLE NUMBERS. MODEL STILL DISPLAYS VERY NICELY.MODEL IS LOOSE, NO PACKAGE. PLEASE VIEW PHOTOS FOR EXTRA CONDITION / GRADING. I WILL BE ADDING NEW ITEMS EACH WEEK. I HAVE BEEN A MATCHBOX COLLECTOR FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND WILL BE OFFERING MANY ITEMS FROM MY PAST COLLECTION FOR SALE.
