Talking to one of the old radio techs at HQ/Fleet a few years ago mentioned the quality paint job on it...
They painted the white with a spray on latex that would be easy to remove after the test period. During one of Wayne's traffic stop, the drunk had too much cheap wine. Standing in front of the car he puked on the hood. Even after washing it quite a few times it still had a "Boone's Farm Purple" shade to it... |
Mike,
With all that's come about recently, I'm wondering about the other pics you mentioned in this thread? Would love to see them ;) |
Bobby,
They are all posted in the "In-Service" pics section on the website (including the '82). |

yes....

My '82 was released 08/02/82. It was sold a year later....08/09/83. A little odd. :)
I spoke with a fleet manager in NO who was around and just starting out back then. He told me that an order like the '82 would have been delivered to his dealership, but probably would have been destined for the testing center Ford had nearby. All I know for sure is that the car was sold in MO in '83 at a Ford dealership. I have a feeler out with some Ford people for some more info and I'm just waiting to hear back. |
Back in Texas
I found this early post and wanted all to know that I own this original car in the photo along with all of the original documentation on it. I am having it restored and will donate it to Texas DPS to show when it is finished. I can't wait to get it finished and drive it some here in Texas.

Thanks for the update.
