Paddy
Wagon
It's
a Riot!
- Original year: 1968
- Company: Monogram
- Scale: 1/24
- Designer: Tom Daniel
There oughtta be a law! The Paddy Wagon is so groovy,
so loaded with swingin' goodies, it makes you want to get busted...just
so's you can ride in it. Designed for Monogram by that way out rod stylist,
Tom Daniel, the fugitive from East Los Angeles. This "Fuzzmobile" is
powered by a wild, fully modified Cobra mill. Cab interior combines
custom and antique and passenger compartment has authentic wood benches
contrasted by red padded walls. And check those wide, wide Goodyear
slicks on mag wheels, authentic police globes, cycle fenders plus an
old-time "Pot" helmet, night stick.

Like
the Beer Wagon, it's a timeless classic that you can still purchase
easily. Built it as a kid and again in 1996. This '68 original is
still sealed and looks like I just took it off the shelf at Garman's
Hobby in West Allis, WI. The description on current reissues has changed
from the original "so groovy" to "so neat". I still think of it as SO
GROOVY MAN! The 1997 reissue cam with two pre-painted cop figures--something
Tom wanted to do with the original kit.
