I'll beg your pardon..?

 

Volkswagen Caddy Hondenbrigade Gemeentepolitie Delft (these are K9 units, if I am not mistaken)

Yep.

Yep.

Well, they are very close to eachother geographically, and they use the same plates, and their emergency vehicles are similar, similar to Irish and British as mentioned above

In case of shape you might be right with the license plates... But still. They are different.

The Dutch one:

The German one:

 

CHP 1982 - Chevy Impala, Fox body Mustang and Kawasaki 1000

 

 

 

CHP Kawasaki 1000 early 1980's.

Early MDTs models. Cleveland Police was the first department in the nation to try and use MDT's in service.

 

 

Original MDT with printer function as found in a 1973 AMC Matador

 

 

 

MDT with screen in 1973 AMC Matadors.

 

 

1973 Plymouth Interior with first monitor type MDT. Previous models had a ticker tape print out.

 

 

1974 Plymouth Fury I interior with MDT dashboard modification.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been noting to JewishBanana that the Willard looks similar to the Diplomat and the Sabre looks like the Fox Body 'Stang. Default CHP pack? :D

 

 

 

 

 

Every time I see these, I think of this:

I was waiting for someone to post SCMODS, Ringo. xD

 

The Willard and Sabre are somewhat similar to the Diplomat and Fox Body 'Stang, but they look more like these IMO.

 

80s Buick Century = Willard

 

 

80s Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS = Sabre

Fair enough. I thought it might be cool though. XD

I found this recently:

 

 

It's a police chase from the late 80's in a local city (I drive by there a lot).

Hey FCV or Strike, is that a Smith & Wesson lightbar on the LTD at the end? BTW, pretty cool find Sergiyj.

Edwin Pagan: Summertime, South Bronx, 1987
 

 

That's why we need this car so much

That is indeed a Smith & Wesson, not quite sure what the model is though.

That Olds 98 though, gotta love them. Awesome video, guess it must be one of the first dash cam footages ever recorded. Shame about the constant lag.

I gave the Diplomat model to Carface few weeks ago so he could improve it, hopefully he will have some time to work with it soon. The wait will be worth, that's for sure.

Odd rambar... They weren't too imaginative with their paint jobs in the BC/Vancouver area it seems.

You noticed too.

Wasn't blue paint expensive? Thats why some departments like the NYPD changed their colors.

I'm guessing Smith & Wesson light bars were common?
