Check out the red stripe on that baby. It really accents the car against the black paint. Great picture of a real piece of Texas DPS history.

Interesting! Looks like a black interior. The 82 CHP car I just purchased has red stripes on the moldings on the front and back. There are no side moldings on the doors.

That's cool! It seems more old in-service photos have been popping up lately for several agencies.

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...
