Mine was an ex-police car but I'm still surprised to see one displayed as such in your photo. Now long gone, it's one of many cars I've considered buying again, but finding one in nice enough condition to be worth owning isn't easy. But I guess that doesn't matter anymore since I'm all out of room anyway.
My stepfather bought it at a police auction. It was extremely ugly but still cool with black paint, spotlights and holes in the dash. This is not the exact car, but itβs very similar. Here's a link to Jay Leno driving one of the last remaining CHP versions of the 1961 Dodge (though theirs is a Polara (4 inch longer wheelbase than the Dart & fancier trim). Cazalea
I like the pictures. The drivers are creative people who made art of cars. I visit sometimes a car show.
