1987 Workhorses #9526 — Sheriff Patrol, blue with two white door tampos: Complete Collector Guide

Release identification

The 1987 Workhorses Sheriff Patrol is cataloged as #9526, metalflake blue, with two white door tampos and a Hong Kong base.

What to check on the car

Look for white on the two front doors rather than four. Check the underside for Hong Kong and compare the roof 701 treatment before grouping this car with later blue releases.

• Read the side lettering and door numbers without relying on paint color alone.
• Check the roof tampo, window tint, interior and wheel style against the release description.
• Turn the car over and record the base text, country and casting construction.
• Keep the original card or set packaging with the car; it can resolve series questions that a loose casting cannot.
