The Highway Patrol
Tuesday, June 8. 2010
Builders and collectors know that there are certain pieces that you have to track for years before you can add them to your collection. Other times, the fates really want you to have something. Case in point: the '55 Buick from Highway Patrol. I first saw Maisto's diecast at Target, but with other purchases already in hand I passed on it at the time. A few days later, Hollywood Detective posted photos of a TV/Movie car meet, among which was this Buick. Skip ahead another couple of days, and one of the guys at HobbyTown was commenting on how he'd been wasting a lot of time over the previous few days watching Highway Patrol on Hulu, and wanted to know if there were any scale versions of the Buick available. I took the hint, returned to Target, and found that they had just restocked the Maisto cars. With some new trim and a new set of door shields, my Highway Patrol Buick was complete.
