Rummaging around in my storage area today, I found (while sneezing) this oldie:
That's a 1997, also with that date on the license plate and the copyright. Here's something else that tickled me:
When was the last time you got anything for $4.15? (Including a gallon of gas!) And those with sharp eyes might note that the price sticker originated with Asheville (NC) Diecast, and Fremont Brown knew how to make a buck. I also like the state seal on the car, as expected, but also on the Road Champs card.
Wonder what else I've got back there? Stay tuned?
Enjoy! David H

Very nice ! A great re-discovery on this real bargain. Those tough Caprices made for excellent police cruisers and this models captures that look well.

I posted my THP cruisers a while back, including Road Champs. The package for this one had an Asheville Diecast sticker, I used to buy a lot from them.

These plentiful and bargain priced models called out for a station wagon conversion, so I built one.
And the earlier Caprice "square wagon"
