This Kojak’s Buick is finished in bright dark metallic bronze with 12-spoke wheels. Complete with both original figures of Kojak and Crocker, detachable beacon and badge. A fine display piece with the atmospheric skyscraper card backdrop.
Issue is dated 1976 on the box underside – note that this version has Kojak’s Buick printed rather than simply Kojak Buick and has 1976 printed on the box.
This version has both a polystyrene base as well as the card backdrop. (A later issue would have a card plinth and card backdrop). ‘NEW’ tag box. The original cellophane has a storage tear. Tiny wear besides.
