Re: Matchbox series 22

PC is refering to the Premiere Class Series 22 which was cancelled for regualr production prior to its release. However there were a limited number of cars made and released to 4 departments. Those are
Salt Lake City Tahoe
Atlanta Crown Vic
Miami Camaro
Dallas Crown Vic

Even though Dallas was released in the largest quantities, it usually is the most difficult and expensive to obtain. This is because the cars were sold to department members prior to the public announcement of their existence.

I would expect a complete set of cars in the BP would go a few Bennies.

There were 2 other departments to be released as well in the series. They were Denver and Philadelphia. I have seen a preproduction mock up of the Philadelphia car. It looked good. Back when these were new I chased them. My call to the Philadelphia department of community affairs (or the like) stated they were aware of the series but when Matchbox wanted to charge the department for the cars they told them to forget it. The language used by the woman at PPD is not appropriate for this board.
