Matchbox has the casting, they barely use it for the police cars...

I'd LOVE to see a yellow, or red and black taxi cab version with the retro wheels...

MBX did a great yellow checker cab, why not a Ford Crown Vic version?

anybody else?

A new crown vic taxi would be great. You will have to find the older taxi.

Sadly no. If you look just above the picture of the Checker Cab, you will see that the link is for the 2005 Superfast series. It was released in May 2005. The German site shows pictures from the last 7 years (2002-2008).

:) :D :tongue:

This is something that the Matchbox team are looking into. They like the idea of a taxi version of the new Crown Vic. It just hasn't been tooled up as yet.
