Now, they have yellow lights too.  :o They're kinda like the traffic arrows, but there's no arrow part, it's only a line that shows you which way to go around ;) ;)

The CHP still has some Z28 Camaro's as Intercept vehicles, MD state police has used unmarked supercharged Thunderbirds and turbo 300ZX's to catch speeders (sneaky aren't they?).

In the late '80s over here in Ohio, I once saw them using a grey Mustang. I use to hear about them, but it took a while to finally see one!  :o

In the US there is only really one type, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. Ford is the last of the US carmakers that still makes a rear-wheel drive, full or mid-sized car with a police package and a strong & reliable enough motor for heavy-duty police use.End Quote

 All of them around here are Chevy Caprice's.  I rarely see a Ford.

I like the ones that are NOT in my rear view mirror

Same here.  Add to that, the ones that are stopped on the side of the road behind someone else ;) 8)

Yep, there are still some police depts using the last of the Chevy Caprices (Chevy stoped making the police pkg for the Caprice back in '94). These cars are getting long in the tooth but are fairly reliable and fast. You'll probably start to see them show up at police, city/county/state gov'mnt auctions soon, good way to pick up your own "Bluesmobile" for cheap ;), before some one turns them all into taxicabs!

Yeah, the red Torino w/white swoosh strip was a cool car, but odd choice for "undercover" cops, not very stealthy.
The S&H show made this car and the red/white stripe option a VERY popular at Ford in the late 70's, used to see copys of it all over when I was a kid. It came with a hot (for the time) 351 Windsor motor and 3:81 gears, so you coud do a nice smokey burnout and impress your buddies...
An original example of one now will bring in over $12k in good condition! With the movie coming out expect that price to go even higher!

Most police orgs like rear-wheel over front-wheel drive because of the more predictable handling characteristics of RWD cars.

The CHP still has some Z28 Camaro's as Intercept vehicles, MD state police has used unmarked supercharged Thunderbirds and turbo 300ZX's to catch speeders (sneaky aren't they?). Falls Church, VA police used turbo Volvo 740 station wagons as cruisers years back.
For all out speed, the Dodge/Plymouth 440 Police Interceptor Polaras of the late 60's & early 70's were the most powerful and fastest, good for up to 150mph or so.

I think u need to go on www.capriceclassic.com and do some more home work. The '95-96' chevy caprice was by far the BEST police vehicle ever made. In fact, that caprice w/the LT-1 engine, is still used by many police agencies throughout the U.S. I live in the northeast where Mass State police still have them on the road as chase cars.  check it out.

I think, Gumby was refering to the fastest police car, not the best overall.

Most policemen that were around at the time to drive them will tell you that a Mopar 440 interceptor was the all out most powerful motor in any police package, at any time, over the LT-1 or anything else, period.
If Chrysler gets back into the RWD sedan business (as it looks like they will) you'd better beleive they're going to drop one of those Hemi or Magnum motors in with a police package.
Face it, Chevy/GM isn't even in the game anymore, the old Caprice Classics are getting a bit old for the game.
