I like this one: 

 

This comparsion 

Looks just like a Vapid Stanier!

 

The older Stanier appears to be based on the 1995-1997 Ford Crown Victoria [pictured below] more so than the 1993-1996 Chevrolet Caprice. The newer one is definitively based on the 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria.

Oh that DDR polizei!..

 

 

Also, does anyone here like Emergency 4? There's a cool mod named DDR mod, which has its unique campaign (a murder investigation lol) and fancies those pretty cars!

Take a look if you want. http://www.ddr-mod.de/

 

Dat nasty rambar doe. I know it's just a training car though.

Are the second and the fourth car in the top photo Studebaker/Nash/Rambler products? They look great, as do the others (I especially love the Dodge A100 ambulance at the end)!  And of course, the Diplomat is simply stunning. You can't go wrong with the teardrop rotating beacon either.

Yeah, the second and fourth cars are indeed Nash's. Not entirely sure what models though.

Oh man, so much car porn. <3

 

Cheers.

The not so glorious (definitely mind-boggling). Whats a better way to show off the CPD but with crashed up cop cars?

 

1979 Impala

 

 

 

 

The frequently forgotten (for good reason) 1979 Ford LTD II fittingly being towed away 

 

Mild NSFW... dead guy

 

 

Caprice with Ford hubcaps

1990 Caprices were delivered with no hubcaps to save money, after delivery they had hubcaps from retired Crown Vics put on them.

Were those cars mechanically/structurally unsound?

 

Cheers.

 

It was a flop for Ford, it sold so poorly that it was dropped after 3 model years. By the late 70's their was no market for gigantic sedans. Dodge/Chevy had already stopped offering the full-size Impala and Monaco at this time, leaving the LTD as a lame duck. Doesn't helped it looked so damn ugly.

 

Edit: Hmm, just saw your signature... Im dumb

Indeed, when everyone else had begun to shrink their products (mention to GM B bodies as direct full size equivalent), Ford kept producing land yatch almost into the 1980’s. Basically they were late for the downsize party, just take a look at the T-bird.

GM on the other side did a real good job with the resized Impala/Caprice, either aesthetic and mechanically.

And still on the downsize subject, I came across this picture which is not really related to police stuff but found it worth to be posted either way. New Chevrolet meets Old Cadillac circa 1977 in Medford, Mass.

Doesn't helped it looked so damn ugly.

 

For the record, I like the styling of that generation of LTD.  The early 70s design had a cooler, more distinctive look IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is some amazing footage, LtFlash. I knew that guy's channel from some of the NYC-EMS ride alongs that he did - I wish that he did more with the NYPD.

Why don't we have diplomats like that in game yet?

Agreed. These vehicles are needed in GTA IV.

 

Cheers.

Now that was useful to me. Looks like I made the ELS on our Mack R Bronx  NYPD ESU Truck 9 mod accurate as can be! =D

It's hard to find good resources for 100% accuracy.

Not really sure but I believe that the SFPD used them - or at least every seventies movie set there features them -. With the black and white paint job they must look great.

 

I came across with my platonic love the other day, wish the owner let me take it for a drive.

 

Now that's nice as hell, reminds me of mother russia for some reason O_o

 

I like the whole-red lightbar just as much as vans,

What lightbar is it?

 

This site has plenty of them!

@Hastings, I think it's a modified Federal Signal Aerodynic.
