The early SS 409 Chevys may have been only 4 speeds too. I just don't remember.
Those Biscayne fender badges look like 396 "TurboFire" to me.

Why buy 442s and Impala SSs when they could get a Cutlass or Biscayne with the big motor. I'm just used to seeing police vehicles based on the low-end models. I think the olive drab & black is the best looking color combination of all. They use yellow in logos and lettering. They stand out while also fairly hidable for speed traps.
