Dinky Toys Plymouth Police Car

The Dinky Toys 244 Plymouth Police Car is a popular model from the Meccano Ltd. collection, produced from 1977 to 1980. This model is based on the Plymouth Fury, a popular American car used extensively by police forces in the United States. The Plymouth Fury was renowned for its robust performance and was a favourite law enforcement vehicle during the late 1970s and 1980s.

The Dinky Toys 244 is finished in a classic black and white police livery, with striking details such as a blue flashing light on the roof and the typical "POLICE" decals on the sides. The combination of black and white, together with the striking police symbols, gives the model an authentic look that is representative of the police vehicles of that era.

This model reflects the attention to detail that Dinky Toys displayed in the 1970s. The Dinky 244 has a sturdy die-cast metal construction, which not only ensures a robust finish but also long-lasting playability. The wheels of the model are designed to roll smoothly, and the blue flashing light on the roof adds a playful element that appeals to children.

A Dinky Toys 244 Plymouth Police Car in good condition with its original box is particularly valuable to collectors. The original box, often featuring vivid and detailed illustrations of the model, adds to the collector's value by completing the presentation of the piece. Although the model itself must be in good condition, the box can help to preserve the value and appeal of the vehicle.

The Dinky Toys 244 model represents an era when Dinky Toys focused on realistic and detailed depictions of vehicles that followed contemporary trends in the automotive industry. It remains a valuable collector's item for lovers of vintage toys and a reminder of the last years of Dinky Toys production. The combination of the detailed design, the historical relevance of the vehicle and the original packaging make this model a special piece in any collection. Made in England.
