BlueSky Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 http://www.carbonmotors.com/this company makes police crusers only instead of converting cars. The cars look pretty badass as well. Makes more sense to make a car for police instead of converting one.Wonder how the market stacks up compared to a production vehicle. If it's significantly smaller, that will raise the cost per unit, not a good thing in these budget-conscious times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost is prohibitive for most agencies from what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I used to love the old dual beacon lights as a kid in the 70's/ early 80's. Though I lcved when switched to the square lights at the time.They look best with all red domes, on a black/white vehicle, like this '62 Plymouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshawaggie Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I really like my home states (ND) chargers. The back looks sweet too, with the back end of the trunk part being the yellow gold, you can't see here.Gotta love the brown and gold. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I really don't like Minnesota's, with the maroon and black, yuck. The white door is a throwback to the older days. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 ^That is one of two things that absolutely annoy the mess out of me about driving through Minnesota. (Nice show of gopher pride, though.)Yout picture of North Dakota isnt working though, but I've seen the NDSP's squad cars, and they looked pretty decent. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenverJ Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Here is the Colorado State Patrol's Cruiser.. They have a mix of Ford Crown Vic's and Dodge Chargers. I don't know.

Discogod Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Hazzard County Georgia I think that's my favourite police car there, the 77-78 Fury/Monaco, mainly 'cause of its use in Dukes of Hazzard and hundreds of other TV shows from that era...

pheer Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I believe (and this could be urban legend) that all US police agencies must buy American due to the FOP having a deal with the UAW. South Carolina can use BMW's because they were donated. Any cars not of an American maker are usually seized vehicles from drug busts, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juiceman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 All of the older (2006-2010) Michigan State Police Dodge Chargers are slick-tops. The reason being, is that the state found out that the roofs were not strong enough to support the weight of their trademark bubble-gum light. Either Dodge fixed this for 2011 and newer models, or the new LED light is lighter than the old rotating light (or it's combo of the two). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
