I do not get it?


You are showing a box body late 80s or early 90s Caprice and a current Charger. Two completely different manufactures of vehicles. Now if it was a 90s Caprice & a Caprice PPV I can understand, but what is this about?
 
I think previous years were white with decals, does that make me 'down with OPP'?
 
They had all white cars from about 1990/91 until they changed back a few years ago but again thats like 2 or 3 years ago.....

Ah,yes;.. Sorry guys...


This is about the paint scheme indeed :


OPP had black cars for decades all the way to the 90s when they went white like the rest of North America (almost!). So the return to B&W scheme is indeed a 20 year stepback. Not an unwelcomed one either if I might add.


(Not sure the bright yellow was OPP... More like Toronto Metro and a bunch of other local depts).

The OPP switched back to black and white about 5 years ago. They introduced the black and whites, and phased them in as the fleet was replaced. Ministry of Transportation enforcement vehicles were white with a green stripe when I left Ontario 2 years ago.
 
I drove a beige '90 slicktop, with the killer seatbelt set up. Great car, and quite stealthy. Used to get it trouble for flipping the air cleaner lid, for more perceived horsepower.
