Matchbox did a nice job on this 1956 Buick Century Police, they even deleted the chrome strip on the door where the police emblem goes. I do think the tires are way too big, but otherwise a nice casting. I got this one in about 2014

@djtusn3950 and for Broderick Crawford in the "Highway Patrol" TV series. The actual western state that he worked in was never identified, but the series was shot in the San Fernando Valley using one of the 270 Buick model 60s made for the CHiP.
