Vehicle History
Produced from 1998 to 2011, the second generation Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is a patrol car offered in a 4 door sedan body style. The Police Interceptor is a law enforcement version of the 1998 to 2007 Ford Crown Victoria sold to the general public and until 2011 for fleet use only. It received a strengthened chassis and rigidity to withstand police work.
The Matchbox 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police is based on the real 2004 to 2011 Police Interceptor. It debuted for the 2006 mainline under the MBX Metal Series in a black and white licensed Highway Patrol livery. The casting has a number of MB689 was originally in production from 2006 to 2015 when it was discontinued. The casting also spawned off a new casting known as the 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Taxi. It would return in 2017, having been retooled for easier assembly. The separate red lightbar is gone, replaced by a smaller one as part of the windows that sticks out through the roof. It has also updated with a copyright year of 2017. That tool became the basis for the one was created for the Moving Parts line, identical to the mainline except for the added rear opening doors. The casting now has a new number of MB901 due to the retool for the mainline or MB1140 for Moving Parts and been in production ever since.
