Coronet Cops

Not all American police cars were big, lumbering Ford Crown Victorias. Because this is a big, lumbering Dodge Cornet. It’s was a rather lovely thing too, with _Tiler‘s 6-wide Highway Patrol iteration looking as good as its 1972 real-life counterpart. Take a look on Flickr via the link above.

Plymouth Patrol

It’s the late ’70s, and Ford’s Crown Victoria is still a decade-and-a-half away from police ubiquity. Which means a variety of barge-like metal is plying America’s highways wearing a star on the side. This is one such patrol car, the Plymouth Fury (a great automotive name), as recreated wonderfully by Sseven Bricks. Click the link to Protect and Serve circa-’78.
