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!

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

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?

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:

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

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

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