That's cool. Those things are actually "vintage" now like our SSP's. The first cop car I drove at the PD was a 1994 LT-1 Caprice. Then we went to the Vic and then to the Limpala.

We had those box cars at the University of Delaware Public Safety (UDPD) where I was a student aid and dispatcher through college, but they were powder blue because the got a "deal" on them

I got to drive one once at the scene of a minor 10-10PI (pedestrian hit) on a rainy night. The officer gave me the keys to move his car around to block off the street. Due to the one-way streets, I had to take the long way around. It was my only time to slide a cop car sideways into an intersection with the 360's on.
