I was just wondering if anyone has compiled a list of all the C-body toys and models that have been done. I figure there are likely some that I'm not aware of.
I remember having a 1/25 scale tin toy 65 Chrysler 4 door when I was a kid.
And of course, back in the day, JoHan made 1/25 scale plastic model kits and promo models of the 65-68 300 convertibles and 2 door hardtops.
JoHan also did the annual model kits of the 65-68 Fury convertibles and 2 door hardtops (some of which had Fury III exterior trim and Sport Fury interiors).
Later the 68 mold was modified to make a 68 Fury police car kit.
JoHan made the 67-68 Imperial Crown coupe as a kit and as a promotional model as well.
MPC made the annual model kits and promos of the 65-66 Monaco 2 door hardtop as well as the 65 880 convertible and 66 Polara 500 convertible.
Beyond those, I don't believe any other model kits or promotional models were done of C-bodies.
I know a wide variety of 66 & earlier Imperial models were done in various scales, but technically, they aren't C-bodies.
More recently, I've seen a 1/43 scale 65 Sport Fury Indy Pace Car convertible done as a limited run by a manufacturer of high quality (high dollar) 1/43 scale collectibles. I have also seen a 1/43 scale 69 Fury police car that looks rather toy-like. And of course there have been several of the last generation C-body Monacos as police cars from Dukes of Hazzard and the Blues Brothers, in many scales. There was, I believe a Corgi toy in about 1/43 scale of a 76 Monaco station wagon.
Three or four years ago, Atlas made nice little 1/87 scale (2" long) copies of the Johan 1968 Fury police car ( and 4 door sedan) model to be used by HO scale model railroaders.

For a while in the 80's JoHan reintroduced 1/25 scale model kits of the 68 300 convertible and hardtop, 68 Fury police car, and 68 Imperial hardtop.
Reissues of the promotional models of the 68 300's and Imperials were marketed under the X-El name during the same years.
Back in about 1969 or 70, There were Mattel Hot Wheels 1968 Fury police cars and Fire Chief cars in 1/64 scale.
Last time I was in Wal-Mart I saw a 67 Plymouth 4 door sedan on the rack in 1/64 scale but I don't recall the manufacturer.
I'm curious if there are any other C-body models or toys that I'm not aware of or which I may have overlooked.
