Posted by Butz on Friday, April 15, 2005 12:08 AM
Hiya,
Just the other day I was on a site for Police Cruisers(Forget which one at the moment) and I found my Brothers cruiser, Car 252.
He is with the Town of Niagara out of NY. So heres his ride. Not colourful but cool lookin..



Flaps up, Mike

Nice looking Cruiser, Butz... gotta love those stripes! Smile [:)]

I painted a bunch of Police cars on a contract job 10 years ago (man, how time flies), and that one would have fit in real good, now. Smile [:)]


Thanks,
take care,
Frank

Hey Frank,
First off, for a fly boy, I am really gettin into these things. One day I will have to take a pix of my ride that I use for Customs...
Speaking of painting these thing, our new Niagara Falls cars are very very cool. In their stripe/logo, they have incorporated the Falls.
Now that would be a job in a half to do...
O, heres another Cruiser for ya. A what if show car. Take care...

Dang, wouldn't THAT be an awesome site in ones rear view mirror!!! Wouldn't be any "pulling away" from that thing I bet!! Wink [;)] Evil [}:)]HEMIEvil [}:)]

Niagara Falls in the new logo... sounds like you'll need to get you some decal paper and make it! Wink [;)]

Yes, I'm a fly-boy too, and can attest to the fact that these things have a way of getting to you! Shock [:O] Beautiful job, and thank you for posting them! Smile [:)]

Take care,
Frank

All the guys I talked to on the force where I will be working in a year or so said they are firmly against the Dodge cars. They lose their compression after a few years. They also don't like the new Chevy Impala, mostly because it's really small inside, but also I hear it's a V6 front wheel drive. Everyone I've talked to favors the Crown Vic, even the hard-core Chevy lovers/Ford Haters.
Anyway...Back to the topic at hand, That will be a really cool build, if you choose to do it. I'm sure once I get on I will want to build my cruiser.

Well, Mike did state that it is a "what if show car". Maybe there would be one specially modified pursuit vehicle attached to certain principalities, which would be called into service only to terminate high speed events. Not patrol, just chase and terminate. <;-). And besides, if a rebuilt 426 or 440 HEMI was installed, I'd estimate it would be *maintained* enough that a compression problem wouldn't be a concern. A tweaked out HEMI could overcome anything on the road (ie: Maurice Petty & Bud Moore Wink [;)]), but would be extremely dangerous to the operator unless a roll cage was included in the package!

I've entertained the thought of kitbashing an unlimited pursuit vehicle like that.... makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Tongue [:P]

Take care,
Frank
