1950 Ford Florida State Trooper Model Kit

1949 1950 florida state trooper ford

An AMT 1949 - 1950 Ford Coupe.

I made this into a Florida State Trooper car. It is painted Testors Gloss black and Ivory. The decals are Fred Cady.

The lights and siren are out of my parts box from another kit or two. On modern Trooper cars, the 'State Trooper' lettering would be on the front fender, but on this older 1950's car, I thought it looked better on the rear.

Overall the rest of the kit is built right out of the box. I think I positioned the front spindles for a more dropped look. This is an older tooling, but holds up well.

With the dog dish wheels and caps, it was a natural for a pursuit State Trooper car !

(Fred Cady is out of business, but Chimneyville does these decals, except the 'State Trooper' lettering is white instead of gold. I have seen recent Trooper cars with both colors. So either one is accurate.)

I have built two other Florida State Trooper Cars -

1993 Ford Mustang

Camaro Pro Stock

This is what the Fred Cady #337 decal sheet looks like below.
You can do 2 cars with this sheet. Two emblems are for the doors,
one is for the trunk / deck lid.
