Police Cruiser Retool 2007

Issued in 1973 as the Police Cruiser. It never had the name Olds or 442 in the name; it is just what some collectors added over the years, although it is a modified casting of the Olds 442. Originally issued with a hood that opened and red light in 1973. 1 973 stands alone in the Hot Wheel world, as for all cars lost the Candy/Spectraflame paint to adopt a new safer and cheaper paint Enamel. Also there were no Tampo's applied. There was the appearance of Metalflake paint but that was only in the Shell Promotional give away.Early 1974 had red dome and opening hood. Late versions had blue dome and hood cast shut.Starting in 1975 the exact casting was re used and repainted in Red and named Chief's Special. It resembled a Fire Chief's cruiser. By late 1977/1978, the casting lost the siren and gained a headlamp similar to Staff Car and Maxi Taxi. The Retooled version saw the reappearance of the siren on the roof.
