The latest from GreenLight Collectibles is a 1:18 replica of the Chevrolet CUCV M1008 NYPD service truck based on the 1984 platform. For a budget piece, the example provides collectors with full access, even the tailgate is functional. The street date is noted as September 2020.

First of all, love the fact that Greenlight finally came out with this mold and looking forward to it, especially the Fallguy version.
Secondly, did any of these police units actually exist? They did the same thing with their 1973 Ford F-100 mold, except that was a CHP version. Not sure if they are based on real cars, or if it’s a make it up as you go type of thing. I’m not entirely sure what the obsession is for a police version of cars that were rarely (or if ever) actual police cars for anyone over the age of 10. But then again, I do apologize if I sound ignorant and there is a market for that.
They should probably just release a work truck version with a tool box in the bed or maybe even a lawn mower. Now we know for sure that isn’t a made up model!
