Gee, Richard, were you old enough to shave? Not only are you young, but so are the rhodie bushes in city hall parking lot. Not sure who looks better, you or your furry partner. Also, how come you do not have any of the cars with the logos and stripes you designed? Also next time you're in the area get photos of our current vehicles. From your favorite X-911 dispatcher.

It's actually city of Redondo Beach, located about 12 miles south of LAX

The MSP cruiser appears to be mid-80's - possibly Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth? However, what is most interesting and unusual is that 20 years later - 2006 - MSP are still using the single red rotating beacon on the cars! On my travels this year, MSP appeared to much more active than their colleagues in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa!

I took this picture sometime in 1987 or 1988 when I went on vacation in CA. That car was located at the Crescent City CHP station.

This type of lightbar setup is pretty typical for police cars in Oregon back in the 1980s. The state police also used the same thing on their Mustangs in 1986.

Agree, Seems like a lot of effort for such little lights on such a big roof.

To answer your question about the interior I believe blue was standard interior color for the Diplomat from 86 to 89 it was tan before that.

It is a 1986 or later car, as you can tell by the "third brake light" visible on the rear deck. They were required on all cars manufactured as 1986 or later models.

Anybody know what year the one in the front is? It appears to have a blue interior - the other two are tan.

How many Oregon cops does it take to put air in a tire?

Interesting....
