ROFLOL on the Grand Prix. Too bad it wasn't the GT or GTP version, at least the front end looks better on those.

Tenn. Highway Patrol had a older vw bug at one time. it was all striped up same color as their trooper cars with a blue jetsonic on top. I have seen it in person in the 90's.

Now I love the fact that it has a very classic Aero and a very classic McDermott on a CrownVic with 2001+ license plate. But I am also a guy who rather have a more modern light on it.
By which you mean it's got a reasonable amount? And what's wrong with the Code 3 lights?Storm4200 said:
You don't even know what to think about it, you like it but you want newer lights and put it in the Worst thread? That car would be gorgeous with the lenses cleaned up. Get out, you're fired.lafd55 said:

I disagree. That lightbar makes it look very ugly. Those old Aeros don't belong on anything beyond 1991.

It would be even cooler if it were a Police Car. As a civilian use Road Ops car, its cool.

I agree , I love it and think it looks great and would be gorgeous car with a nice polish to both the car and lightbar!nerdly_dood said:
Are you kidding me! The 1992-1997 LAPD cars looked fantastic with the all light Aeros on them! I think LAPD should have adopted the LED Aeros as a replacement and keep the trend going!RyanZ71 said:
I disagree, It be much cooler if it was MY police car! haha!HILO said:

Wow, aren't you two just the perfect little trolls. :bonk:
1. I do not care for LEDs I prefer strobes personally.
2. My days of driving a Ford truck ended about 10 years ago. Never again.
3. Like I said, I personally believe that in 1991/1992 when the aero dynamics of the cars changed for both the Caprice (1991) and Crown Vic (1992) the bars on these newer and more aerodynamic (har har har) cars made them look flat out stupid and ugly having an Aero on it. They didn't look too bad with the Jet Sonic's, but an Aero on a car like that is as out of place as having a Twinsonic on there, as much as I love the Twinsonics. And no I do not have anything against the Aeros.

The blinky-light part of me wants old lights on everything, but the aesthetic part of me says a lightbar's size should be proportional to the vehicle's headlights, so an Aerodynic looks good on a 98+ Crown Vic or a 90's Caprice, but looks goofy on a 90's Crown Vic. Similarly, an LP6000 isn't that big so it would look great on a 90's Crown Vic but too small on a Caprice or newer Crown Vic. An Edge 9000 (or, when period correct, a 9M or Freedom) isn't quite as tall as an LP but it doesn't have the angled profile so it looks chunkier, so it looks good on pretty much anything.

I saw this car in person in August of '11 on my way home from my cousind wedding... For its intended purpose, I think its a good idea... Although you'd have to find the smallest guy on the force to roll in it... lol
Only lighting to be seen is the Whelen Cadet on the dash... lol

You guys are crazy i would KILL! to have an old school rotator set up on my crown vic for patrol.. Something like an excalubur lightbar or a star bar or an old MX i already asked my boss if i can get rid of my LED bar for rotators but he just laughed at me and said no 
sadness...
sadness...So it's not technically a police vehicle, but they say they do are "trial certified"

in THIS???? HAR!
Why on God's green Earth would you make the ping-pong car-of-death a patrol vehicle, even if it's a meter maid or downtown patrol??? A head-on or T-bone with a full-size sedan or truck and that officer is going to be in intensive care.
