    What kind of police cars are in your city?

    We have the following…….

    Black-and-white Crown Vics

    White Crown Vics

    Black-and-white Expeditions

    One black-and-white Excursion

    One black-and-white Ford Van

    One black-and-white cube truck (rescue squad type of vehicle)

    When I lived in Cleveland many decades ago they had
    some wierd colors. The worst was lime green. YUK!!! icon_sad.gif

    Side note……….. In Cleveland, during the ’60s and ’70s, we didn’t have
    rescue squads. The station-wagon police cars were used as ambulances! icon_eek.gif

    Also, when I lived there, they confiscated a Corvette from somebody.

    They turned it into a police car!!! icon_cheesygrin.gif

    I’ll have to look for that next year at the show. That has always been a good show, many nice vehicles.

    Its usually parked on the street during the show (along the mayflower motel where i stayed this year). Sometimes at night u will see it parked on the strip where all the shops are while they are patrolling on foot. You may not notice it right away since it has amber colored lights on top instead of red and blue. Hotels fill up fast so if u want a good and decent rate id reccomend early reservation. im prob calling mine in on december or jan.

    I suppose they don’t want Red/Blue lights otherwise the owner might try to have some fun arresting people! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

    Oh ok, but yeah that would make it a little difficult to arrest them, plus it wouldn’t probably be too safe because they could get injured flopping around handcuffed in the truck bed! :haha:

    Apparently, there’s a few Jaguars used around here. Very, very powerful:

    They’d need them if they were to be called out through the long, twisty roads to a remote location.

    That’s a Lotus Esprit. They’re bloody quick cars with fine handling – blow just about anything out of the water.
