I wonder why the tail lights on the Blumo are different than the ones on the CPD car, and why the Blumo doesn't have a spotlight? Cool that they changed the grills though.

Greenlight just came out with a diecast 1:24 scale Bluesmobile, pretty decent but could use some accurizing. They also have a Chicago police version.

Ahh yes, thanks for the reminder. Release was delayed by around 3 months by the looks of it? Finished product is different from the drawings. Blumo does have a spotlight and miraculously has also grown a passenger mirror    Lower grille is rarely accurate at any scale ...

At the moment $19.99 is the price on daBay, I think I saw one at $18.96 ...

And a 1:24 Bandit released at the same time. No Justice?

I just got this Bluesmobile , there are a few things about it that are incorrect. One thing is the black "dog dish" hubcaps instead of plain bare wheels, second is it has a right side door mirror, third is the front bumper is a '75 Monaco style, not a '74. I'm not trying to sound petty, it's all stuff you can see in the pics here I just don't know why they didn't make these a little more correct.

^ And even though they now have a 1:64 scale one that includes the trunk and quarter panel graphics, this 1:24 scale one doesn't have them. They will probably do another release with those graphics, then another with the speaker. They know that the superfans like us will keep buying them!

Mine has the graphics on it

^ Woops, mine has those graphics, too, even though I wrote that it didn't. I must have been going by the pre-release photo of it.

- A cool custom job here, 1:24 GreenLight Bluesmobile becomes CHP with working lights !





I suppose to complete the look, a splash of black on the B-pillar might be in order. Car is for sale and will be posted on daBay.

[Steam McQueen]

^ Here's that custom job. Buy It Now is $175 !!

The lightbar is not accurate for '74 or '75 CHP Monaco's.







And as mentioned it would also need the B-pillar and window frames painted black, a 2nd spotlight and a rear antenna, lol, too critical for a toy? It's still a cool looking custom diecast.

Reviving an old thread because this 1:24 casting has since been done as Mount Prospect pre-Bluesmobile, Kansas Highway Patrol and CHP.
