Notes
This wonderfully fresh example of the 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. An exceptional display piece especially with the atmospheric skyscraper card backdrop.
Issue is dated 1976 on the pristine box – a late first issue with Kojak’s Buick printed rather than simply Kojak Buick.
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.
Very small cellophane puncture and a couple of very small end flap tears. Tiny wear besides.
