Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I always thought Maryland State Trooper's cruisers were cool. There is a traditional paint scheme that has come and gone but never gone away. That is an olive drab like green and black with yellow letters and state seal on the door. But I guess from the MD flag come Maryland's thing with yellow. We have yellow barns around MD and the color is Maryland Yellow. Oh yeah, and the Black Eyes Susan is the state flower. So the yellow crept in on the state trooper craft from time to time.

A thing I thought was cool you never see now is the Troopers were allowed to swap huncaps on their cruisers. Fully markers cop cars with some cool looking hubcaps, wheel covers, or trim rings with stock caps. on the Fords it was always the '56 wheel covers with red medallion, mostly, but you name it. Some would just put the top end covers on, like SS wheelcovers on the '65 4dr. Anyway, I miss that and it was a cool thing when I was a kid.

So here are some of mine. Let's see yours!

A little variety

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

What I noticed is they're 2 door coupes. No four door sedans?

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

some newer stuff and a tannish yellow Caprice

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

Yeah Dale, now I realize they started out with 2drs. They did that break in the paint on the rear quarter anyway. I only remember having my own door... no handle :lol:

Might as well add some yellers. How about some copsicles?

I always thought to 5.0 Mustangs were cool.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

no silly, that is actually a police swat vehicle in my driveway, complete with swat officer..

the wild card was the pos in front of it.. also a police vehicle, but for the more covert approach..

sort of a "from one extreme to the other" but I guess I was the only one that got it :waah:

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

sorry killer....all I see is a square box with a x in it...no pics..
like this

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I did this one a long time ago for something on the board, no idea what it was for =)

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

Cool stuff! The Mustangs and Camaros are cool, but a specially equipped full-size sedan is just too cool. Notice the badges on the MD cruisers. Here are some "off color MSP cruisers

“These Mayberry cars were at quiet a few car shows for a while.“

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

The VW would be no problem to out run and if it did give chase it would have to stop and do a valve job to continue.

Only in San Francisco and a Mini Me CHP

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

:lol:. I never saw a Pontiac police car until that one.

See what they did with this '50 Ford grille?

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I’m sorry but, I can’t help thinking why the one trooper in the fifth picture is not standing at parade rest?

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I love that picture, Pete.

I wondered about that, too, and why is he standing with the other officer. He is older. Even looks like he could be the officer's dad kind of. I wondered if he's an administrator. I don't know why that would make a difference

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

That one a Sport Fury? Those things were ROCKS. They even took the mufflers off the California HP version to get them over 100 MPH. I had a Camaro that could turn 140 on the highway...in Nevada before the national speed limit of 55. In '76 the CHP would have only caught me with a radio. I did notice that most of them had badges for big engines. The Chevies with the crossed checkered flags had to be fastasssumbeechies- big blocks can turn out some horses. I knew a who guy worked at the grange store in Gooding, Idaho in '75 who had a '67 SS 427 post car with a 4 speed.

Those guys always got us in trouble in Boot Camp, too. :/

if I was to hazard a guess based on his age, probably the chief

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I actually found this exact burb for sale on Craigslist but didn’t know what it was until weeks later. I was heading down to rent a trailer but recent divorce led to me bailing on the deal. It was like $1500. Going thru old newspapers I found out they built two. One for the Sierra Nevada range on I80 and one for the grapevine in SoCal. I saw it again for sale for about $4000 a year later. I run wanted ads from time to time

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

Shocked none Of The Dubai Cars showed up yet

Reading fail. Thought it was random cop cars and it’s your
Towns cars.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

CHP always experimented more with the bikes. Here in MD for a while I saw some super modern BMWs but haven't seen anything but Harleys since. There used to be a thing about buying American for public service/municipal vehicles. I guess with bikes that can vary.

I found a bunch of pictures of MSP vehicle but I wasn't allowed to save them. There was a picture of a Fury or other mid-60s sedan with dual 2 1/2" pipes run straight out the back hot rod style.

I was riding in the back seat of a rumbling Fury, probably around 71/72. It sounded bad to the bone . When we got to dual hiway I asked, "Let's see what she'll do", just being a smart-a. Well, he did just that! Opened her up wide-a-open! Woo Hoo! I was thinking the whole getting arrested thing was not so bad after all :lol:

It's funny looking at all the trooper cruisers and not seeing the swapped caps. I think it was a thing they "allowed" but didn't really want it displayed in pictures. Image thing, you know. But I did find this one and a Chevy with trim rings

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I was an MP at Ft. Lewis in the late 70's. We had 4 door Volares with 318's. They were soooo slow.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I guess for on base patrol they didn't spring for the interceptor pkg. I see small towns or even cities with their wimpy cars. That's what I like about the state boys and some counties. They get the hot set-up, special suspension, tires, engine, etc

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

This old Police Car has been on display at Landry's on the Kemah Boardwalk for years.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I like seeing the old ones honored like that. I took a picture of a late '30s Chevy State Police car at the Taos, NM station with my kids by it. It's a print

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

I want one of those big block 67's........drool

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

No kidding, those things rocked! It would be best if it had a 4-speed. It was mentioned before- those 5.0L Mustangs were mighty fast, too. Those were 5-speed manual. I've seen those in action- they were mighty quick off the line and the top end was crazy.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
 

Those have got to be the hottest '67 cop cars ever. Sport coupes and all! Looks like they have disc brakes
