Is there any model company’s that make a 1998-2012 crown Vic?

Lindberg produced Crown Vic police cars. They can be had for cheap.

There was one in diecast.  Can't remember the manufacturer.  There were pre-marked versions for several departments, and a plain white one to do your own thing with.

There were many made in diecast in many scales, but oddly never a styrene glue kit.  The Lindberg kit was a '95-97 style...different body and details. 

I have a couple of the ones from Classic Metalworks, Maisto, Welly and others also made them in 1/24th-ish IIRC.  Classic Metal Works in particular  made an unassembled white one with no police markings.

There's this as well. 

 

I've purchased the files, but haven't gotten around to printing yet.

Yup.  Nothing yet in injection-molded styrene.

There's a couple 2-3 of us think Revell whiffed it BIG time essentially dumbing down the same Crown Vic Lindberg did, instead of producing one of these.

I still scratch my head thinking about Revell's Crown Victoria. They invested time and resources into making a brand new, inferior version of something that is already widely available.

There is no Sound Business case to support the Revell effort.

None, as shown by the fact that the kits have disappeared, and will probably never see the light of day again. Not sure what went wrong, but all that time & tooling budget utterly wasted, for no reason. Worst of all the the kit was clearly copied from and inferior to the Lindberg tooling. I'd really like to know who 'died on that hill' in the Revell business office to push that whole package to completion.

At the time the Revell Crown Vic was being released, the story was that it was a partially developed project that had been mothballed years before, for whatever reason.  Then when Revell was looking for low buck options to bring out new product, it was dusted off and development was comp!eted.

Who knows if it's true, but I tend to believe it.  It's the one explanation that makes sense vs. bringing out a 1998+ version.

Still think it's crazy that no one ever produced a styrene version of that one, since it's the quintessential American cop car from the last 25 years.  Heck there are STILL some of those things in service!

Your explanation fits the facts as we know them, Robert. I'll take your word for it.
