So we got a Favorite (General) Police Car and an amazing Classic Police Car thread... So how about your favorite "celebrity" car, used by a LEO in film/TV/game/etc?  Definitely doesn't need to be your typical patrol car, because that wouldn't be Hollywood!

 

I'd say for sure Nash Bridge's '71 Cuda convertible. 

 

 

Walker's Ram. Because reasons.

 

 

 

Once upon a time in the late 90s there was this really crappy show called Pacific Blue, that I enjoyed so much it's embarrassing. While the show was about bike cops, the opening credits always had a Santa Monica PD Hummer in it, my favorite vehicle as a kid. It was used in maybe 3 episodes over like 5 years. Was sad to learn SMPD never actually had one.

 

 

Honorable mentions:

-My real favorite is probably Buford T. Justice's Pontiac LeMans, but I have posted that on this site a couple times already.

-Walt Longmire's Ford Bronco. Honestly the entire Absaroka County Sheriff's Office livery is awesome. Very well done.

 

 

Whatya got?

I'm big into the Mopar style squads. My favorite has to go to good old "Adam-12", specifically the Plymouth Belvedere they used.

 

 

Then I really do like 1-Baker-11, which is a 1971 Mercury Montego I think.

 

 

And then I really do like two other units from the Original Gone in 60 Seconds, but I'm not sure if you'd call them movie cars per se, since some were actually real police cars.

I couldn't agree more, if only we could have models of all this cars in V...

To Punish and Enslave humanity. Hands down "Barricade" from Transformers despite being a bad guy i love the car. Both the old and new form

 

Other close seconds are Danny's Camaro from the remake of Hawaii Five-0 (the black one) and Chen's Mustang

 

The sneaky Police car from the Anime "Psycho pass" (could not find a pic, but it starts out looking like a normal car than when the siren is turned on a Hologram of a Police livery and lights appear) is fun too.

 

SR0928

Damn, that's the stuff I'm talking about guys. Didn't know or forgot about some of those. Legit! 

 

The Hawaii cars aren't too far off, a lot (if not most?) of LEOs in Hawaii use personally owned (subsidized) vehicles.

  

For me, it's always been the yellow Ford Falcon XBGT sedan from the first Mad Max!  

I think my favorites are the yellow unmarked 78' Plymouth Fury and the unmarked 81' Chevrolet Impala used by the 2 main characters in the movie Colors

I literally hate myself for forgetting the Mad Max interceptors... FML.     11John11, I love the color of that Impala. 

 

While completely absurd, gotta give a nod to the Caprice in Black Sheep, haha.

 

 

 

And the remake 1-Baker-11 wasn't too bad for 2000. Made sense for their division. 

@PileDriver beat me to Walker's Ram..

However my personal favorite is Alvin Olinky's Dodge Magnum from Chicago PD..

Coming in close second:

And this guy too:

Spoiler

 

I really wish there had been more gratuitous CVPI use in The Walking Dead... And ya gotta love Sheriff!

 

Okay, not exactly LE vehicles, but... I absolutely love the LTD in Backdraft. Only picture I could find at the moment...

 

 

And Battalion 15 from Rescue Me. Again, another one I know there's better shots of, but all I could find right now. <3 old Suburbans.

Also totally forgot about 55 David and 55 Charlie from Third Watch and the 55 Crime team Lincoln Town Car!

I really wish that episodes of Third Watch after the first two seasons were easier to find.  I've been trying to watch the series in its entirety, but it is quite difficult being that only the first two seasons made it to DVD.

You can't go wrong with Zebra-3.

 

Not to mention the bevy of unmarked and marked cars in The French Connection.

 

For me it's Miami Vice all the way (the TV series, NOT the movie) with the Ferrari Daytona Spyder and the Ferrari Testarossa. Although the Daytona used in the series was actually a faux Ferrari made using a Corvette Stingray, it's still among my favorite Celeb LE cars.
