“What do ya say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what”?

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Being a kid from d'Ottawa and having tried my hand at car sales at a Chrysler dealership, I just about collapsed laughing, the first time I saw a Plymouth Reliant SQ police car! The Ottawa cops and OPPall used RWD, body on frame cars as cruisers.

I kinda suspect that when the SQ we're finished with their Reliants, they just pushed, or towed them to the junk yard. Who would want to buy a used police K-car? I doubt that they could even be given away!

Of course it was the same thing with the Canadian Forces during Turd-owe Sr.'s time in office. Replacing Korean War era Jeeps, they purchased the Iltis

The CAF spec Iltis was 'powered' by a 1.7 litre 4 cylinder gasoline engine that developed a blistering 75 HP. Maximum claimed speed was a whopping 81 MPH. Of course 0-60 times were measured in hours. I'm sure the K-car 'police special' was slightly quicker.
