About the Chevrolet Caprice Metro Dade Police UT Models 1:18
TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Chevrolet Caprice reproduces a 1990 Metro-Dade Police livery, the South Florida scheme applied to Chevrolet's full-size patrol sedan. Detailed graphics and roof light bar suit a service and emergency vehicle collection.
Metro-Dade covered the Miami area before the department's later renaming, and its livery on a Caprice puts a specific, regionally distinct patrol scheme on one of the era's most common police platforms.
UT Models' Regionally Specific Livery Detail
South Florida departments of this era often ran distinct striping and lettering compared to their Midwest or Canadian counterparts, and this model's graphics reflect that regional character rather than a generic police template. The push bumper, roof light bar, and spotlight are cast and printed with the same care UT Models applied across its 1990s police fleet at 1:18, a period when the manufacturer's detailed diecast stood out in a scale still building its collector base. The Caprice's boxy, unadorned body again does the work of a blank canvas, letting the livery itself carry the model's identity.
The Caprice in South Florida Police Service
The Caprice's rear-wheel-drive durability and roomy cabin made it a natural fit for departments running high-mileage patrol duty across a wide range of climates, South Florida included. Metro-Dade's livery on this platform represents a specific regional chapter within the broader story of the Caprice as North America's default full-size cruiser through the late 1980s and 1990s. For collectors, regional livery variation is exactly what turns a generic police car subject into a documented piece worth pursuing.
On an emergency vehicle shelf, this Metro-Dade Caprice sits well beside other regional liveries on the same base car to show that variation directly.
