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
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
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 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

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
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
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

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
I don't have any pics but I do remember an Ark State Trooper telling me in the 60's he had one of two 2 door 409/4 speed cars in the ASP. A real pursuit vehicle. And as if the car wasn't fast enough he took it to a couple of racers garages to tweak the tune up too.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
They would have been plenty fast stock, and a little tune went a long way, even back then. I worked on and off for Chevrolet dealers in the early '70s, and commented to a zone rep about how quick his 'Vette was. Of course, in those days it was a curve kit and some jetting work, but still pretty cool.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Ha Ha. If you can't out run a Chevette then you deserve to go to jail. I had a Chevette (company car) What a total POS. I hated that thing. Cheapskate company. This is more like it. It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Those Buicks remind me of the 50's cop show Highway Patrol. Broderick Crawford was Dan Matthews. Yeah, I remember watching it.

Re: Pic Thread: Police Vehicles
Here's a couple from my collection of work pictures. The SUV was taken while parked on the Torrey Pines golf course. The other, white rhino, is what we were driving when I started out.
