Yep, Lieutenant is correct! 

 

Never knew why they did a remake. 

 

Which Lieutenant? We both are.

 

Cheers.

A South Australian Police Chrysler. Interesting, I didn't know we used to use those. I would've thought they would of all been Holden's. 

Now with Xmas just around the corner I felt like showing y'all the Floridian way of dealing with Santa :P

This one is a classy one but still in service.

I always loved that truck's styling.  The NYPD used them/something similar at one point too.

 

 

[i'm pretty sure that this photo was taken at Floyd Bennett Field, judging from the hangar in the background.]

Wow, a C-Series! That's some extraordinary sighting, does it belong to the Philly PD?

That's actually hard to tell, I got this pic from a local source claiming it does, but so far no evidence that city or state police has C-series... 

 

Some cars that do belong to NSW police though )

Like or qoute if anyone wants to see a mind boggling fire department thread

 

1969 Chevrolet Biscayne of the Sûreté Du Québec. By the 1970's the more practical 4 door cruisers replaced 2 door ones.

 

 

Dodge Polara 1973 Cars started getting numbered during this era to indicate the different districts of the province. They also upgraded to 3 roof lights.

 

 

Chevrolet Nova 1978 Time for a black and white paint job with the Chevrolet Nova in 1978. At this time, the SQ had 1700 cars in its fleet.

 

 

Plymouth Fury 1978-79 At the end of the '70s, the SQ adopted the blue flashing lights.

 

 

Chevrolet Bel Air 1979

 

 

Ford Fairmount 1982 Another example of a more compact car, the Ford 1982 Fairmount, this one being fitted with a six-cylinder engine of 225 cubic inches. Ford was only supposed to paint the lower portion of the car door yellow, but the SQ accepted the car, even with the mistake.

 

 

Chevrolet Malibu 1980 With the oil crisis, the SQ reviewed its automobile stragegy. Gone were the big V8 engines, replaced with 6-cylinder units. In this photo, the more compact Malibu was still fitted with a 350 cubic inch V8.

 

 

Plymouth Caravelle 1982 Long before the Plymouth Caravelle becomes a variant of the K platform, it was an authentic American RWD car that could be equipped with powerful engines. According to the SQ, this model proved to be the best compromise midsize sedan at that time.

 

 

Plymouth Reliant K 1983 It was bound to happen! The SQ officers had to get behind the wheel of compact cars such as the economic and Reliant K. Recession budget cuts forced the corporation to acquire these cars.

 

 

Ford Crown Victoria 1987 In the late 80s, SQ vehicles were painted white with a little green and yellow trim.

We could always rename this topic to "The Mind-Boggling Classic Emergency Vehicles Thread".

Well, the first post already left open the possibilty of adding other emergency vehicles; in fact, we've already posted some stuff related to the fire or EMS previously in this thread so I'd be fine with it. In addition, this would keep the classic stuff centralized in one topic.

 

Whatever you guys prefer.

A few of us have already posted pics of other emergency vehicles, so I'd say that's fine to post vintage fire/ems stuff.

 

1967 Pontiac Bonneville Superior British Columbia Ambulance

 

 

1963 Superior-Cadillac Rescuer Ambulance

 

 

1975 Cadillac Murphy Ambulance St. Cloud, MN

 

 

1970 Pontiac Ambulance, Green River, Utah

 

Will it be OK to post something about USSR medical vehicles, just like I did with police cars? It ain't near as fancy as American but maybe someone will be interested?

 

A pic of GAZ-24-03 for attracting attention :)
