A 6 cylinder police car?
Aaaaah so..........very perceptive Bob. Just can't have a 6 cyl. "Interceptor".

@bob-jackman A V8 "Turbo Fire" engine was an option on the '57 210. As a Police car I would imagine it was fitted.

Yes John I'm aware that the V8 was available in the 210 series and also the 150 series. When so equipped, they would have the V emblem displayed both on the hood and deck lid which this model does not.

They probably did it this way so later can make a V8 Belair with full wheel covers and white walls and sell a second one to collectors.

I personally think the missing V is just an oversight; it may show up on the finished product. Gotta have it on a cop car.

@jack-dodds The pics. are the finished product. Looks like its one you will give a miss to.

If they do a 210 civilian with a "V" I'm in, but I'm not much of a police car collector.

@jack-dodds This was a special order for 50 numbered models for a German dealer. I am sure the factory will release this model now they have done the alteration to a 4 door sedan.
I have asked the factory why this Police car was done as a 6cyl. version

John; Well if there were only 50 done then perhaps it won't be an issue; especially if released only in Europe. An alternative may be to add the "V" if possible.

John, do you know which German dealer it was and when the models were made?
Many thanks
