I miss these types of police sirens, as well as the big dual bubble classic lights on light bars, big trapezoid light bars, big oval light bars, and land yachts everywhere.

That was a blast from the past! V-8 rear wheel drive & smoking the right rear tire & loosing the full size wheel covers. Good Day to You!

We were liking these US series so much in Europe and probably all around the world ... and as mentioned these land yachts.... so nice so aesthetic so... everything ! Keep in mind that a Chevrolet Caprice or nova was considered a luxury car here in France and you had to pay expensive taxes to get it on the road ... anyway those series were bringing excitement... today series are mainly fbi stuff and black suburbans all around and characters a stereotyped girl in her mid 30’s with the same clone guy...

I have a 12 volt bullet shaped siren from the 50's or 60's that I use for Halloween. I bought it 20 years ago at a nearby yard sale for only $10. I wire a little switch to it and a motorcycle battery that I can blast kids with when they walk up to the front door. I also use it on New Years Eve at midnight.

I loved these! Kinda wish you had shown a few seconds beyond when the chases ended but this was still a great compilation. Police Story was my favorite TV show when I was in hs. In the clip with the female officer driving, they had a blooper. The car she was driving, part of the chase it had revolving lights on top and part of the chase they were the old forward-facing steady reds that you used to see on the early Adam 12's. Thanks for putting this together and posting!

@CSXRockford My bad. Thanks for the correction. And yes, the F41 package that consisted of a thicker front sway bar and an additional rear sway bar plus heavier coil springs. 9C1 package was used on 90's B body Caprice meant for fleet use, like cop cars.

Cops today would’ve paralleled the suspect on the right side of the road, radioed his position and calling for backup, not chased him on the wrong side of the highway, just the catch him. Possibly causing more possible injury or death.
