This model seems pretty cheap looking.

Headlight trim, yes. Mirrors, no. Still don't know about the grille, are they making it black or silver for sure now?

Anyway, it's still a CV PI with what looks like 20's. :puke: :down:

My crystal ball(Ford Parts Catalog) sez 3W3Z-8200-BAA silver grille...no other description but I'm guessing black grille/silver surround...........

Well, yes and then again no! You see tooling would run about $60,000.00 to $80,000.00, and would vary much between 1/24th and 1/18th scale,
(I think you would be much happier with 1/18th)

The unit cost would likely be about $45.00 to $55.00 each. so doing the math and using the high side estimate, 80000 / 500 = $160.00 + $55.00 unit cost = $215.00 would you pay that for any scale car.
Is this still in the making, this 1/24 scale model isn't this much ?:confused:

Looks like a repainted Crown Vic to me.
Look at the lower rear bumber, it has an enlongated bulge over both tail pipes. And the headlights curve down at the grille, ours go straight across.
Close but no cigar.

And the tires stick out of the wheel wells.
