I wonder if the Saltlake Celeberty and the military K Car are PPV's. Chevy did make a PPV Celeberty though there was not much specail about it aside from a big alternator and some suspension mods. However the K Car PPV had a Mitsubishi turbo on a Mistubishi 4 cylinder in that light weight car. It was a dangerous car becasue it could out drive itself, it was to fast for the suspensiln and steering to keep up with, and the tiny brakes would fade after the frist hard stop.

Oh, how I love the Diplomats!

We used this Plymouth Gran Fury in my criminal justice class from 99-01. I know they had it for years prior. It was a pile! The headliner sagged, the lightbar would stick, engine troubles. Even if you hit the lightbar, it would rotate once or twice and stick again. Its an old Yankee bar. The trunk was stuck and when we retired this car for the car below, we pried open the trunk and there was another Yankee bar in there in pieces.





My senior year, I got a local police dept to donate an outgoing cruiser. I worked with one of my teacher who was on that city's council. We ended up with a 93 Chevrolet Caprice and pretty good shape


Here it is at my parents house in 2001 a couple days prior to delivery so I can clean it up some (wash, wax, etc). The city left the word "POLICE" on the side. If would never leave the school grounds anyway so nobody cared. The siren, controller, lightbar and cage were left in also. It was more like a senior gift to the instructor for classes to come. I pulled it in to the back of the school with lights and siren going and my teacher was stunned at the gift.

I have the popcorn ready and want to see more!

 

[NJEMT]

Im liking the NJ Transit PD cars, the NYPD pick-up, the GMC reserve unit, and the Chevy Truck. That thing is bad ass

 

[emtanderson51]

I'm partial to the 85/86 Mustang LX 5.0 with the short Whelen bar but I had 2 5.0 cars...an 86 gt and a 92 LX....that's how I taught myself EVOC...

The Diplomat / Gran Fury just LOOKED like a police car, and they were work horses, but I hated the uncomfortable bench seats, not to mention driving down the road one evening and having the airbag blow up in my face for no reason!

There was no winning with late 1988 to1990s police sedans. The Chryslers blew air bags and had those dumb shin bangers, the Caprice front doors came open on their own, pulling the driver out becasue the seatbelts were attached to the doors, and the LTD Crown Vic couldnt stop or turn if it got up to speed in the first place! The Chryslers were the first PPV with air bags, followed by the Ford in 1990 and the NBS Caprice in 1991. And your right crescentstar, no other car screamed POLICE louder than the Diplomat and Gran Fury. It seemed like every one on the road was some type of official car or taxi. I grew up in a town that ran both Gran Fury's and Caprice's.

Wow, I just got a flashback! Nice pics.

The K-cars were actual Police Packages. Although their limitations were obvious very quickly, they became popular as detective cars in many cities such as Toronto or Montreal.


MP in Europe had a bunch of them in this lousy pastel-green colour (But no lightbar as far as I can remember from visiting Mons' SHAPE in the late 80s...)

Cool light setup on the Stang!

 

[TritonBoulder47]

I used to have an 87 Aries K-Car... LOL

 

[EngCo4]

You never did say what the skinny was on that shot-up cruiser!


Was that a "training exercise" or was that an incident? That bar


looks pretty beat for a regular-service unit, so I'm guessing that


this was "final training exercise" before sending this land-yacht


to the big Public Works Garage in the sky....

Those who did want to forget about it !


(I did drive a few Reliant K myself... yuk..)

 

[oldtrooper]

My first patrol car was a Dodge Diplomat that had the 318 replaced with a 340. Sweet car but the brakes sucked. Had the Federal Visibar on it. You guys are right, the Dodges screamed POLICE!

 

[ryan]

I approve of 88% of these pics, I do however disapprove of the shot up twinsonic 12mef.

Ahhh yes, the old wind drag test car....lol I remember that one.

I disapprove of the shot-up 91 9C1 Caprice....this makes me sads.


What is the bar on the mustang with the flat pancake-looking lights? Are those actual pancake lights mounted on a cross-bar?

Drove these from 78 to 83...I had one that had 74K on it and it could blow the doors off the 85 Caprices that were replacing them!

DPD posted a car history page on their facebook.


This was the first car with the blue stripe. It won a best design award. It was also the only V bar on a DPD car.











I heard rumors of these...














I never knew this existed. Rather cool looking I think.

Maricopa County, AZ - Photographed in January 2004


I've got some photos of a few of the older Caprices from my county's sheriff's police. I've got to find the photos and get them scanned. I wish I had grabbed a photo of one of the '91 LTDs when I had the chance. They were still running at least one in late 1998/early 1999.

 

[hawkspringsfire]

Below is a link to our page that has photos of our fleet in 1978. Thought it would be cool to throw them on our webpage.

Very nice, I'm a huge fan of the Full & Mini combination.
