I'm almost 100% sure that these are Long Beach police cars, not San Bernardino.

how easy would it be to import a plymouth,monaco to the UK for restoration, complete with aerodynic light bar & LAPD graphics? how much would it cost?

Actually, I believe this is Long Beach.

I believe you are right, especially considering the fixed spot light on the left A-pillar. I went by the photographer's title.

I don't think that box could hold that dude's lunch. I bet he didn't catch many crooks bailin' it on foot.

Where do you get a door shield like this one? What graphic company makes these?

Sa-So in Grand Prairie, TX, still carries these old style shields. About $65 to $85 a set, depending on reflective or not last time I looked. They also carry a lot of old style sheriff stars, which quite a few small TX sheriff depts still use. They are on the web. I believe at www.sa-so.com

Sorry, the site contains most everything that I have.

Mike I lived in Lafayette La since 1966. I remember those police cars. You got anymore older police cars photos?

That "box" is part of the light bar. The entire assembly could be raised about three feet with a scissors-like apparatus to provide more visiblity for the emergency lighting at accident scenes. The scissors apparatus is housed in the "box" under the lights. I don't remember who made them, but I seem to remember several LSP units being equipped with them.

That makes sense. Thanks

This photo was taken at an airshow in Lake Charles, Louisiana in about 1972. A Blue Angel F4 Phantom crashed during the performance and this trooper was among many guarding pieces of wreckage. As I recall he didn't much like having his picture taken and he also didn't like me taking pictures of the wreckage.

Interesting story Mike. But what is that box on top of the car?
