Mmmmmm......doughnuts! 2004 Chevy Impala cruiser
Posted by pyrman64 on Thursday, May 30, 2013 9:13 PM

Well, I'm calling this one complete...finally! It's represents a 2004 Chevy Impala of the Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) "what if" cruiser, if they had their own PD (instead of using special duty CPD officers.)  I still have a few decals (license plate, roof/car munbers) to add.  So here it is...warts and all. Huh?

The completed interior with radar unit and PR-24   

the front end showing grill and pushbar - I added 1/2-round (.080) to simulate the rubber pads

the lightbar....it came from the Lindberg Charger kit

 

the completed Impala....left side

the rear right hand side

The COTA emblem decal is home-made and the other police decals are from Chimneyville's generic blue police sheet.

Hope you all like and as always...comments welcome and encouraged.

 

p.s. this is my second completed model for this year! Clown

Guys, the pics do not do this car justice at all.  It looks 100 times better in person.  Greg did a fine job on the headlights and the tail lights.  The rest of the car looks great also inside and out.  YesYesBow Down  Dan

Our city police department used to have Chevy Impalas back in 2004. Now they have the 2013 Ford Taurus and a couple of Dodge Chargers as their new cruisers. Of course they still do have Crown Vic as well.
