The Corgi Toys 260 Superman Metropolis Police Department Car is based on the Buick Regal’s design, and the model captures its essence perfectly. The Metropolis Police car version embodies the classic American police cruiser look and the combination of the Superman franchise gives it added appeal among collectors. We take a look at the Corgi Toys 260 Superman Metropolis Police Department Car and include some prices of sold items.
The Corgi 260 Metropolis Police car, modeled after the distinguished Buick Regal, is adorned in a striking blue hue that’s reminiscent of the traditional police vehicle colour schemes. It features a white roof, with off-white interior, chrome trim and wheels. The back of the vehicle has white stripes. The bonnet features a shield with the words City of Metropolis Police Dept and accentuated by the emblematic ‘City of Metropolis’ insignia. Produced for a brief period between 1980 and 1981, its short production run adds an element of exclusivity, making it a particularly cherished piece for collectors.
The front of the box shows Superman flying, with the classic Superman words and the black and white silhouette of the Buick. The back of the box has a full front Superman flying together with Superman words and Superman logo.
Even though the Corgi 260 had a short production run, its exclusivity is what makes it a sought-after piece for collectors. Given its limited availability, it holds a special place in the heart of those who possess it. Its pristine design, reflective of the Buick Regal, and its association with the City of Metropolis give it an irresistible charm.
