Ken, aka E435300_SMPV, sent me photos of the issue of The California Highway Patrolman he recently won on eBay that shows the two SMPV Mustangs on the cover -

Interesting stuff! By 1989, the SMPVs were a permanent program with the CHP. "Eagle-Eye" Ken also found the following picture in this issue showing a four-eyed CHP Mustang in the background -

I've also got a copy of that issue in my collection, it's a great one.

I just talked with Ken and it sounds like he'll have his '89 SMPV ready to go for the Ripon show in October. Maybe to the CHP Retirees Day event the week before too if he can get the time off and plugged in there in time. Can't wait to see his car! :2thumbs:

Good stuff...

:thumbsup:

Huge thanks to Brad (NightHawk756) for heads up on this. Nice magazine to add to my SMPV data.

You're very welcome Ken! It went to the right person. :2thumbs:
