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!

**special-K** · 05-19-2020, 08:50 AM

A little variety

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-19-2020, 08:54 AM

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

**special-K** · 05-19-2020, 08:55 AM

some newer stuff and a tannish yellow Caprice

**special-K** · 05-19-2020, 09:02 AM

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

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

Here are Washington State Patrol vehicles during the eruption of Mt Saint Helens.

**The Rocknrod** · 05-19-2020, 10:46 AM

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

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-19-2020, 10:58 AM

I always thought to 5.0 Mustangs were cool.

This is my usual view.

all fun and games until this shows up..

and for extra credit, can anyone tell me how many police vehicles are in this picture?

**mongocanfly** · 05-19-2020, 02:18 PM

("can anyone tell me how many police vehicles are in this picture?")

uhhmmmm ..none?

**mongocanfly** · 05-19-2020, 02:21 PM

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

**mongocanfly** · 05-19-2020, 04:01 PM

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

CG · 05-19-2020, 06:29 PM

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

**special-K** · 05-19-2020, 06:42 PM

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

**72 tigger** · 05-19-2020, 06:46 PM

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

I see this one around once in a while

notsolo · 05-19-2020, 07:15 PM

Sheriff Hege... Davidson county Nc...AKA spiderman.....he had the inmates paint the jail pink.

**Sheepdip** · 05-19-2020, 07:53 PM

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

**mongocanfly** · 05-19-2020, 07:59 PM

Killer...I got home and can see it now..!!.

**mongocanfly** · 05-19-2020, 08:04 PM

And you cant forget about BTJ...

**special-K** · 05-19-2020, 08:12 PM

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

See what they did with this '50 Ford grille?

**leddzepp** · 05-19-2020, 09:04 PM

kingsolver72 · 05-19-2020, 09:42 PM

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