SquirrelyNutsDSP Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 As the title reads, I saw an unmarked Charger in Jersey pulling over a speeder. It was a dark gray with 18" black wheels, and the light bars were inside the cabin so it was hard to spot. I believe this was discussed recently, but I actually saw one and they're gonna be hard to spot before they're up on you. My friend and I drove up to CT today, about 9 hours, to pick up my new car and I plan on being back tomorrow night. What a great weekend!

Mallard Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 The Magnum wagons are just as stealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 I saw your IM about the new car. Congrats, they are cool little cars. Hopefully you didn't get raped on the 'rarity' of it. So... when's the turbo going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmrmnhrm Posted July 2, 2006 Report Share Posted July 2, 2006 There's just something inherently wrong about the General Lee being repainted and made into a cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeGT Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 yup i do belive CPD will start exploring the Charger and Impala platforms, since fords last little issue they had with there so called Police Intercepter Packege. the crown victoria is an extremely reliable car and will continue to be the vehicle of choice to most law enforcement agencies as well as taxi companies and old people. although it is still very popular, ford has flirted with the idea of discontinuing it for the last few years. either way, the "panther" platform the crown vic, grand marquis, and town car is based upon has been going strong since 1979 i believe.

BloodRed Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 The major reason that crown vics are still being used is that Ford can sell them as fleet vehicles and keep the price down on them. As long as Dodge and GM can sell them at very low prices to the PD's, vics will be gone very quickly. Dodge has a very long and very well spoken history with police departments. Much, much longer than Ford. The only thing keeping them from still owning the crusier market is they didn't have a RWD car for many years. Now that Dodge brought them back, many PD's are checking them out again. Detriot PD has been replacing the vics with Charger and Magnums since the cars came out.

Mallard Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 the crown victoria is an extremely reliable car and will continue to be the vehicle of choice to most law enforcement agencies as well as taxi companies and old people. Actually, a lot of taxi companies will be switching over to the 300C LW (Long wheelbase) when their Crown Vic's get replaced. Detriot PD has been replacing the vics with Charger and Magnums since the cars came out. Well, around Detroit it depends what area you're in, but the Detroit PD doesn't have enough money to replace their Econo Vans and Crown Vics. Auburn Hills had had Chargers and Magnums for over a year, if you're near Dearborn you'll only see Ford's, and around Milford you'll most likely see Impala's. Troy is a mix, but I've seen a few undercover Camaro's running highway duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
