Description[]
This casting was originally introduced in 1991 without the light bar as a civilian (non-police) Holden Commodore. It was re-released as a new casting as Police Cruiser in 1996 with a separated plastic lightbar inserted into casting hole on the roof. The base's stamping retains the 1989 date.
