GENERAL INFO

The 55C Galaxie Police car wasn’t around for long, being in the range for only 2 years. This explains why only one major variation exists. It was first released in a NEW MODEL E3 box. Another E3 box without the NEW MODEL also exists. The model was also packaged in E4 and E4R boxes. The picture shows the model in white with the common red roof light and usual decals. The size of the box is 5.

RARITY

No rare box exist, but of course the NEW MODEL is less common.
