Corgi juniors 68 Kojak's Buick

In the 1970s, the American television series "Kojak" became a huge success. The series, which ran from 1973 to 1978, revolved around the charismatic and unconventional New York City police inspector Theo Kojak, played by Telly Savalas. With his iconic bald head, candy-cane mouth, and legendary line, "Who loves ya, baby?", Kojak became a cultural icon of the time.

A fixture in the series was Kojak's car, a 1974 Buick Century, which he used to wreak havoc on the streets of New York in his fight against crime. The vehicle became so recognizable that it quickly became an indispensable symbol of the series.

Corgi capitalized on this success and released Kojak's Buick in both their regular series and the compact Corgi Juniors series, number 68. The Juniors model was produced in a small scale (1:64 scale) but successfully captured the Buick's distinctive lines. For many children in the 1970s, this model was the ultimate toy for recreating Kojak's adventures.

Today, the Corgi Juniors 68 Kojak's Buick is a sought-after collector's item. Because many examples have been played with intensively, well-preserved models are relatively rare. A pristine example represents not only a piece of television culture but also the creativity of Corgi during the heyday of their Juniors series.

A unique piece of television history in miniature format, ideal for both Corgi collectors and fans of classic TV series.
