When we restored the car it still have evidence of its former life. There was a plug in the roof where the cb/radio antenna was, the posts have the holes where spot lights were drilled. They now serve as spots for the door poppers. Car was a factory power pack 265 V8, 3 speed car. Within a year and a half the car of being a cop car it was a full fledge custom show car and has been ever since.

All three versions are cool '56s. It was a sharp 210 for that short while. Too bad there's now photo of it's law enforcement days
That last Suburban shows how the police vehicles, like mine, came. Base model Cheyenne with no roof rack and with body trim. Mine has hydraboost brakes. I'm not sure if that was on all, but most likely.
