Description

The Paddy Wagon is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in 1970. It is based on the Monogram Model Kit which was originally designed by Tom Daniel. It saw a few releases with in the 1970's with Redline and Black Wall wheels. Prototypes exist in SF orange and SF blue - typically without the POLICE text on the sides of the roof.
