Can we pretend that the Charger is a reinstatement of the old Plymouth Fury III?

[Fightin Whitey]

Some wheels on that baby, hey?

[Vendome]

It also says the disciples were all in one Accord, which is how learned they were probably Mexicans....

[Iscool]

Yeah that is right, the Javelin.

Javelins didn't have a rear seat...Odd for a cop car...

[Vendome]

Spider Chains!

When I get my SUV this winter I’m getting those too.

Takes 30 seconds to put em on...

[AppyPappy]

NC and it was a VW Rabbit. They did a commercial about it.

[yarddog]

Javelins were two door but I am pretty sure they had a small back seat.

[uglybiker]

I doubt any true unibody can take the punishment they could withstand.

All the old Furys and Satellites were unibodies. They did just fine.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Protecting and serving as they patrol the mall?

[GeronL]

lol

defend the Cinnabon to the last donut!!

[Dr. Sivana]

I remember visiting Rapid City, South Dakota in the early 1980’s and seeing Volvos (with turbos) as the standard police patrol car.

Falls Church, VA had them in the mid-80s

When you have mucho money as Dubai does you go full supercar for your patrol cars.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

One must keep one's priorities straight!

[Lurker]

My first car was a Fury III. 1967. Loved that car.

[golux]

Beloved!

Beloved by government agencies as long as WE pay for the fuel! And I am happy to do so, for so I love my protectors

in these gas guzzling wonder-machines

which are designed to INTERCEPTOR us when we need INTERCEPTORING

For so we do, for we are weak

and law enforcement must be strong

on the local level, strong!

on the state level, strong!

on the national level, strong!

When you see the Crown Vic FEAR!

FEAR the GOVERNMENT

which is by you

and for you

You do not need strength, or arms,

you need SAFETY STOPS!

You need SAFETY CHECKS!

You need SAFETY SEARCHES for your SAFETY!

For your safety is your strength

and your strength is their strength,

and theirs is yours!

[golux]

Just another piece of American ID whisked away

sniff, sniff....But Frankie boy, you do have your American ID on you, don't you? Mind if I check? Hey, your car smells kinda funny to me. Mind if I check? Goin' on that plane are you? Mind if I check your daughter's tits? You don't mind, do you? After all, we're all Americans!

[Cap'n Crunch]

We had a few Furies too and a couple of Chevy Impalas. The Chevy’s were faster than the Crown Vics (at least that was my experience) but the Crown Vics were more comfortable.

I remember getting in a chase on the interstate. The piece of junk Crown Vic I had would barely do 65 mph. I was so embarrassed, had my foot to the floor, lights and sirens and barely keeping up with traffic.

[knarf]

I had a friend about twenty years ago with the very deep blue, just enough chrome Vic he called The Queen Mary

[Rodamala]

What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

Fix the cigarette lighter.

[Secret Agent Man]

Lots have switched to Ford’s Taurus.
