1933 Ford Model 40 roadster New York City police top down blue in 1:43 scale
This is the 1933 Ford Model 40 roadster New York City police top-down blue in 1:43 scale by Esval.
The 1933 Ford Model 40 Roadster used by the New York City Police was a striking blend of early law enforcement utility and hot-rod-worthy performance. Powered by Ford’s legendary flathead V8 engine—one of the first mass-produced V8s—it offered exceptional power and speed for the era, making it ideal for chasing down criminals in a rapidly modernizing city. Its open-top roadster configuration gave officers greater visibility and ease of movement, which was a practical advantage in urban patrols. This unique combination of performance, practicality, and early police customization set it apart from standard civilian models and its contemporaries in law enforcement fleets.
