Corgi Chevrolets - a photo on Flickriver

Corgi Chevrolets

            Re-issue of Corgi 480 Chevrolet Impala Taxi, made in China, with an original Corgi Toys 480 police version of the same car.
The spun wheels on the copy just don't look right, and I think it would have looked better with good copies of the ribbed cast ones like the police car here.
On the original police version the interior is 'blown' plastic; on the reissue they have made a proper plastic moulding, but I'm not aware that Corgi ever improved it in this way.
It can't be seen on this photo, but the paint used to pick out the rear lights in red is solid on the copy. On the original one here it seems to be a translucent red, but the could just be my example!
My original 481 police car has two figures in the front seats; the certificate with the reissue of the taxi seems to imply it has just a driver. Why Corgi thought it necessary to put double inverted commas around 'Chevrolet' on the box is a mystery.
