B.M.C Matilda 1953 (Highway Patrol) (fictional)
Fictional Lore:
After WWII, the American branch of the B. Motor Company was is a hard situation, with the main factory of the company in Budapest now being under the control of the Hungarian State, left the American branch as the head of the B.M.C.
For a few years after WWII, the branch could stay afloat by producing their already existing designs but by the 1950s, the rest of the industry was moving forward so the company had to keep up. In 1953, the American B.M.C produced their first post-war design, a new model of their 1938 four-door car series, the Matilda. The 1953 Matilda was made in hopes of still trying to capitalize on the soldiers returning from the war and now starting families. As such, the goal was to make a car that is large and comfortable for a family, but also speedy and reliable.
The new car was a huge success, so much so that even law enforcement agencies showed an interest in it, leading to several of these agencies buying Matildas for their fleets such as police departments, highway patrol units and even the FBI. The car also saw success in the world of car racing, with several successful drivers chosing to race behind the wheel of a Matilda.

@SPTNR I fogor, hey @zizwan could you turn this to a drift car please?
@Lwillswith2sentryguns don't forget @zizwan
@BMilan
In the many I've seen before, the pulsators usually have big dents on the back because officers would hit the back of the siren with their batons to unfreeze the motor during the winter
@Ashdenpaw1 Oh I see now, I'll keep that in mind when I make another car from this era, thanks for the info mate:)
@BMilan
Yes that siren IS a Federal Q, but if you're looking for a Pulsator style, it should be a little longer and the nose smaller around
@Ashdenpaw1 So like the one I put to the right of the central police light on the roof? Or is that not the correct one?
@Lwillswith2sentryguns
I tagged an AI maker who has made an AI drifting model that does the gold prix track
@BMilan
A pulsator shroud looks like a weird pointed bubble thing
@Ashdenpaw1 I'm gonna be honest, I didn't put too much research into using period accurate sirens, I just looked at reference images of police cars from the era and tried to losely replicate them. That being said, I now searched up the two things you mentioned and based on your comment, I believe I may have used the correct siren: the siren that I built (again, based on a reference photo I saw) looks a lot like the Federal Signal Pulsator shroud, which as you mentioned, should be the correct one (I might be wrong tho). Thanks for the great info tho and I'm glad you like it:)
@Ashdenpaw1 I think you were meant to tag @SPTNR because he is better at tuning stuff.
I love this vehicle a lot. Just one little thing, they usually use Federal Signal Pulsator shroud when they’re used on a small car instead of a Q2B, Usually
@KSB24 make this drift 🗣️💯🔥
@KSB24 Please turn this to Ai Police, thank you. Also do the police cruiser version too please.
Also awesome builds @BMilan!
this fun
Glad i could help with the car
