You may be thinking of the AMT '63 model, which Hendrix makes available a 4-door body to go with it, along with a Mayberry Sheriff's Office decal and a bubble light. Other resin companies make 4-door resin conversions for Mayberry squad car candidates: R&R: '61 and '67 Ford Modelhaus: '65 Ford Two companies make a '64 four door but you need to shave off the Galaxie 500 trim. And a roof swap and some line carvings can turn AMT's '60 Ford Starliner into Andy's first squad car. That is, unless you count the '59 Andy was driving in the "Danny Thomas Show" pilot and even that one is available either from Hendrix or R&R. An internet search can turn up more details I'm sure. The one I would love to see: a '54 Ford 4-door like the one Barney bought from Mrs. Lesch.
