Building a model car kit as a “stock” vehicle, meaning you put it together right out of the box, as it was meant to be built, with all of the included parts and nothing more, is what the usual hobbyist does.
Some Turbo Buick fans, a lot of them who also happen to be police officers, like to be different, and have something that fits their own lifestyles.
As such, they create their own versions to meld those two ideas together, and produce Buick Grand National Police Cars!
The Monogram Buick Grand National model car kit is the vehicle of choice, since it has a great starting point (and really is the ONLY choice unless you want to get a custom resin body kit).
Paint them however you wish, add the required cop car necessities (roof lights, antennas, spotlights, decals), and the results are finished to your desires.
Here’s 2 examples of police cars that were created from a model car kit, then accessories added to complete the chosen effect.
