strike got a reaction from Lozano71 in The Mind-Boggling Classic Cop Car ThreadThe other day I heard the song Word Up watching some flick and immediately came to my mind that sensation of having heard it during the childhood, like some kind of deja vu. The truck with the odd cab of the first clip is a Mack U600, in the case that anybody wonders it.
Continuing with the music clips, in this scene of the beginning of the movie The Wall (1982), around the minute 6:00, there can be seen multiple cop cars (fake CHP) equiped with Twinsonics, a motorcycle and a step van and a good amount of police brutality.

Then there's this short scene where the British riot police responds to some mob breaking into stores.

strike got a reaction from Lozano71 in The Mind-Boggling Classic Cop Car ThreadThe old Kentucky SP paint job is pretty nice, not to say that it fits swell in the LTD. I think I still have somewhere in my hard drive a half assed skin for the old gfxle's '83 Impala.
Nice pictures, once again. Any idea which department is this from? Is that a Galaxie?
Classic Sao Paulo Police vehicles
1976 The bright orange and black colours seen here on a 1976 Corcel is synonymous with dictatorship era policing. Older Brazilians will remember this vividly.
1986 The Fusca, popularly known as the “Baratinha” or little cockroach, is possibly the best known police car of all times. It was used widely across the city of São Paulo from the 60s right through to the 80s and was an instantly recognisable design classic. The 1986 model was one of the latest editions and already ran on ethanol fuel, an innovative feature at the time. 1988 The Veraneio is probably the police vehicle most associated with the dictatorship era. Used by the Rota, the special forces of the São Paulo Military Police. During the repression era, the 5 metre long, 2 tonne truck was often deployed with no colours or outward symbols although few civilians were under any illusions as to what the 4 plain clothes men inside were really up to.
Weird ass truck, looks like if a 1970's F-series and an early 1960's Suburban had had a crazy night...
Opala Another iconic car was the Chevrolet Opala, seen on the streets of São Paulo in the late 80s. source -

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.

strike got a reaction from PhillBellic in The Mind-Boggling Classic Cop Car ThreadInteresting one. That's a Connecticut State Police cruiser, correct? The next one is a picture of the Connecticut State Police during a raid in a Hells Angels club in Bridgeport in May 1985.
Those were actualy units. I made the texture after some video FCV96 showed me of one of those in action.
