If you look at the pic I posted, it shows the front grille lights. Let us know what the Carfax looks like.

Ok, here is the carfax. As with some of the other texas DPS cars, no police record to be found. What do you guys think? I don't think there is substantial enough evidence to leave the lightbar...

Most cars do not show police use. I'm at work and can't read your file on my phone, but if it came out of service with 135k on it, that was probably DPS.

That file attached really small, here is a better read. I have no doubt it's DPS, I have the buck tag (one is missing) from the car stating that it is. Just no idea where it went next unfortunately.

I wasn't doubting it was a DPS car, my statement was in respect to the mileage put on it.

The Carfax isn't much help. It probably didn't come out of service in '94 w/106K on it. It could have been sold earlier to an individual who didn't register it after the purchase, sold to another agency, or who knows?

I wouldn't worry about it either way. They obviously had at least one car with a lightbar and grille lights on it back then, per the pic.
