In this and the following posts, are photos of the Tahoe models evolution. The first is referred to as the hard pattern. From there is evolves to a mock up which is shown in the remainder of the photos.
A few things to note, the tires and wheels are always done last. Both versions of the Tahoe, 2WD & 4WD, use 265/60 or 70 low profile tires which, are considerably less in diameter than the civilian versions. What you see here are scaled properly but without detail.
Also, because this is a mock up, there are different pieces of accessory equipment on it simply for development purposes. I know, the Michigan hood sign doesn't go with the Code 3 Excaliber lightbar. The two small lights on the tailgate are used by the Michigan S.P. in addition to other departments. They'll be installed when necessary.
Anything not gray are separate parts. Although difficult to see, the front fog lights are separate lenses. Also not visible are side lights on the push bumper. They can be painted to replicate light colors when necessary.
The glass is one piece. The head and tail lights are not mounted with the typical pin in the middle which often ruins their appearence. They're secured by small slots at their edges. Both the glass and lights will be available as individual parts in the event they are broken during disassembly. Same with mirrors etc.
The interior is police spec with the identical pattern in the upholstery. The MDT is in two pieces and replicates the current evolution in their design. You'll note on this model it is correctly angled towards the driver. It too, will be later offered as a separate part.
I noted only a few items for attention, among them to add an individual front license plate which, they forgot. The final photos show it next to our existing Ford and Charger for comparison

Amazing, wonderful, spectacular! The rear windows...will they be pre-tinted like the current Magnum's?..Pretty please (and fingers crossed). Almost every police version I've seen has tinted rear windows.

Well, since you please and crossed your fingers, okay. Actually, that's how they're planned. That will be done in production, just like the Magnums. |

Once again Dennis, you've outdone yourself! Now I need to start making more shelf room.

OMG! This is going to be phenomenal.
Is there any list or hints to some departments we can look forward to seeing other than Michigan State Police?
