This photo was recently posted on NYPD Commissioner Bratton's twitter page.  Apparently there's a vintage ESU truck at the auto show, and I spy an RMP (possibly a Plymouth Volare) in the background with a Signal Stat Dual Comm lightbar on top!

 

Here come the Euro cars!

'Ere comes some Swedish classics!

Old, Inverted Black/White livery:

 

I have no idea what this is for livery, but it is HOT.

 

 

Get ready for an image dump of massive proportions, straight from the 2015 NY International Auto Show! The police museum really stepped it up this year in terms of their auto show display.  I had to divide this post up into several since I reached the image limit for a single post. 

 

EDIT : The forum software keeps trying to merge subsequent posts, but cannot since there are so many images.  If someone were to post below me, I could post after them and finish up with the images.  There are some good ones that need to be gotten to!

 

---------------

 

General Overview of one side of the RMP line;

 

---------------

 

1989 Chevrolet Caprice (This was the same P.O. Eddie Byrne tribute car from last year, but it was in a position where I could take better photos.  Further information on the Byrne case; https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B62-DiJkyiieWnlueUU2ZzhxZHc/view?usp=sharing)

 

 

 

(Eddie Byrne was from the 103PCT, but this RMP is marked for the 75PCT, matching the collar brass of the jacket hanging in the window.  I suppose that the person that restored the car was from the 75.  Eddie Byrne was driving an '87 Caprice with a Mark VII siren in it, slightly different than this '89 Caprice with a Federal Signal PA300 siren.  His '87 was also the 103PCT's K9 car.)

 

(A shame this information placard is difficult to make out.  Damn this camera!)

 

 

 

(Can't beat that Aerotwinsonic!)

---------------

 

1980 Plymouth Volare (The last model year for the Volare/Aspen.)

 

 

(That Dual Comm is lovely in person.)

 

(Sorry for this one being so out of focus.  My camera really does suck. -_-)

 

 

---------------

 

1974 Plymouth Satellite

 

 

(At least this informational placard is slightly more legible.)

 

(More in-focus photos of the Signal Stat bar are coming up soon thereafter!)

 

 

---------------

 

1973 Plymouth Fury

 

 

 

 

(Sorry about the blurriness, again.  These Furys had Signal Stat VI sirens in them, and they're pretty damn rare.  Someone on elightbars that has one said that he found one almost three decades ago and has been searching for another since, but has yet to find a second one.  He pondered that most of them probably got junked since they were large and didn't fit well into the newer RMPs that came after this Fury (and the C-body Gran Fury at the time).)

 

---------------

 

1993-1996 Chevrolet Caprice

 

 

 

 

---------------

 

1971 Plymouth Fury

 

 

 

(Gotta love the Signal Stat beacon up on the pedestal to replace the Beacon Ray 175-Hs, Pulsator, and McDermott high riser!)

 

---------------

 

1966 Chevrolet Biscayne

 

 

(This photo is from last year's show, where I was able to get a different angle.)

 

(There's the 175-H and 660 Pulsator combo we all know and love!)

 

---------------

 

1958 (or '59) Ford Custom 300

Awesome stuff Strike!

Getting pulled over by a hearse must be a really weird experience... 

Nassau County Police Department truck (does anyone know which brand/model is it?)

Nassau County Police Department Plymouth Volare.

Nassau County Police Department Fairchild Hiller FH-1100

Nassau County Police Department truck (does anyone know which brand/model is it?)

Nassau County Police Department Plymouth Volare.

​That truck up top resembles some of Peterbilt's older trucks, but I think it's purpose-made on that chassis.  The doors are especially telling; they look relatively vintage!

---

That looks like a Dual Comm on top of the Volare, with some alley-facing spotlights.  Gotta love those mopar steelies too!

I found the same truck in black (older Nassau Co PD livery), and here they say it's GMC.

The white one is based on 1951 GMC Rescue, and looks similar.

After some research, I believe it could be a White Motor Company truck actually.

​Well, the guy whose post I mentioned earlier referred to it as "GMC-White truck". Now I found out that at some point GMC trucks and White trucks were merged by their owner Volvo, so this maybe GMC-White truck indeed.

​By the time this truck was made, the company was simply the White Motor Company. It wasn't until, if I am not mistaken, the late 1970's or early 1980's when the White Motor Co. began merging with other companies till the White-GMC was created in the late 1980's. It can be kind of misleading.
