BRAND = MATCHBOX

Matchbox is the most plentiful brand in my collection, mainly because so many have been issued.

Seven of them have a CHP logo.

They are decent quality for their price, but not in the same league as Greenlight or Jada - less detail, cruder castings, less authenticity.
Their chief market has always been kids.

Matchbox 1987 Ford LTD Police v1

MB issued at least 20 distinct versions of this, eight of which I own.

Here's an image of 11 more of them, and you can see why they did not appeal to me - color scheme, location, etc.

But I do like the design, especially the details like the radar gun assembly on the left side of the car.
