Below is a description of the currently available (and soon available) Dodge Monaco's, from "GreenLight Collectibles".
Most (if not all) members here know about the newly released 1:64 scale Bluesmobile:
What you may not know is that there is an variant called the
"Green Machine". It has Green rims as well as a Green undercarriage.
It was produced in limited quantity and is currently selling for about 4x the cost of the standard BluMo.
Another one that you may well know about is the companion CPD squad:

Also on the horizon is the "Series 6", 1:64 Diorama.
This set will contain a Bluesmobile w/ the roof siren, as well as a

This looks like a "Must Have" for the collectors here.
.
Here is another "Must Have"...Although it was originally due to be released back in May 2011, it has yet to see daylight.
There will only be 1,000 made worldwide, and it will include a high-end acrylic case with a vehicle nameplate on the base.
This is a larger
1:43 scale car and will be produced under the title,
