UT Models' 1:18 diecast Chevrolet Caprice wears Metro Dade Police livery over the fleet-favourite sedan body from the early 1990s. Accurate light-bar and decal detail suit a serious emergency vehicle collection.
About the Chevrolet Caprice Metro Dade Police UT Models 1:18
TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Chevrolet Caprice carries Metro Dade Police livery over the boxy 1990s sedan that became a default American police cruiser. Accurate light-bar and decal detail suit an emergency vehicle display built around real regional liveries.
Metro Dade, one of the more recognisable South Florida law enforcement names of the era, provides the livery for this Caprice, a distinctly regional take on a nationally common patrol car body.
UT Models' Accuracy on a Regional Police Livery
The Metro Dade decal scheme is applied here with the same care UT Models brought to its licensed rally and touring car ranges, sharp edges between colour blocks and correctly placed door shields rather than approximated graphics. The roof light bar carries individually defined lamp housings, and the push bumper at the front is moulded rather than simply painted onto a standard bumper shape, a detail that separates a genuine police-spec casting from a generic sedan with decals added. The Caprice's unadorned, boxy body, built for durability and interior space rather than style, is rendered honestly, which suits the subject far better than an overly glamorised finish would.
The Caprice's Broader Role in American Police History
Through the late 1980s and into the 1990s, the rear-wheel-drive Caprice became the standard patrol car across a huge number of American police departments, prized for its durability and roomy cabin over any styling merit. A regional livery like Metro Dade turns a generic fleet sedan into a specific, recognisable slice of American law enforcement history rather than an anonymous police car shape.
This Caprice's Place in a Police Vehicle Collection
Paired with other regional Caprice liveries, this Metro Dade example lets a collector compare how different American departments dressed the same underlying sedan.
