Awesome.

 

 

That caption for that Mustang should be "Day 34, and they still don't realize I'm not a Datsun..." lolz

 

That Nova with the TwinSonic is jaw-droppingly fantastic.

I posted some pics of NYPD with roof-mounted speed-radar. Here goes some more from Louisiana state cops

Florida HWP

South Caroline HWP

Looks like Robocop car was for real!

Mississippi HWP

And a New Orleans van. Love vans. 

I think this is as classic as it gets...

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing is better than a big ole Twinsonic sitting on a big ole boat of a car. Here are some of my favs

 

Philly cops used some pretty nice colors!

 

Plymouth Horizon, lol. Looks like something British. 

And a van, of course.

That's because the Plymouth Horizon or Dodge Omni was in fact British. In Europe it was known as the Talbot Horizon, widely used at least in Spain in law enforcement but I am sure that I already posted pictures of them various pages back. As a small reminder, please, do not to link pictures directly from policecarwebsite as they normally will show up broken.

 

 

More stuff from Philadelphia, the 1985 MOVE shootout and bombing.

 

On May 13th 1985, the Philadelphia Police attempted to arrest the members of a radical black liberation group called MOVE, which led to a 12 hour armed stand off that ended up when a Pennsylvannia State Police helicopter dropped a couple bombs over the house where the group was entrenched, causing the death of 11 people between members of the MOVE and childs, as well as the burning of 60 adjacent buildings. MOVE had previously had another armed clash with the Philadelphia Police Department in 1978, where a police officer was killed.

 

All the footage below presumably correspond to the 1985 incident but there might be some stuff from the 1978 one.

- In this second video, at 1:03, there's some short footage of the Philadelphia SWAT? in action.

 

 

Police sharpshooters keep their eyes and guns trained on the MOVE house on Osage Avenue during a stakeout along Cobbs Creek Parkway.

Here is a wtf were they thinking car '>

This one certainly reminds of Mad Max.

And this one is simply cute. 

I want this!

 

LtFlash, that video practically brought a tear to my eye.  That was an amazing catch for sure, and kudos to that cameraman in the right place at the right time!

 

The Signal Stat 374 Beacon on its higher base [with the red/amber look of the 1960s as opposed to the red/white of the 1970s] is really good looking in action, that's for sure.
