Cop cars are an important symbol of law and authority around the world, especially in the US. But they weren’t always around. So what was the first cop car? And how did the black and white paint job come to be? And how has American society shaped the police cruiser as we know it? Join Nolan as he explores cop cars from the very beginning to today.
WheelHouse answers all the questions about the automotive world you never thought to ask. Nolan Sykes looks at the history, sociology and psychology behind the cars you love, and the features you might overlook.

Don't be too sure about it though. I was once caught doing 160 on an empty road. Only one car was driving behind me and judging by his yellow lights I assumed it was just a random old car... Once I entered the city limits I found out it was a (older model) marked police vehicle...

I believe there is some form of long term contract between the state and GM (there definitely was when my Dad worked there til 88) And that makes it just that much nicer, easier, and cheaper for TX law enforcement to get their cruisers from GM.

@@buzzfeedorange7585 true some have the V6 but mostly sold to smaller jurisdictions that don't see a lot of highway use.

Look at it this way the same motor that dodge puts into a 3/4 ton 4X4 truck is placed into a 4 door car. the old record he said that still stands I don't see how, as those chargers routinely go 156mph fully loaded with a fat guy driving . Agency's routinely sent them in shops to get governed because they were capable of speeds never before seen in Police departments.

The gentleman he bought it from was originally from Cali and gave Dad the receipt where ye bought it from Orange County, CA. According to a Hemmings motor magazine article CA ordered 1,500 Polaras in 1969 and as of the time it was released, there were 11 left. Dad called and said, we have #12. The author doubted it and stated all options CA ordered that other states didn't such as the red and clear spotlights as shown in the video. Dad took photos of each feature as well as the receipt and the gentleman was able to confirm we are the 12th one left.

Worse Cop Car Story EVER! I got roped into buying a White Chevy Impala. A major mistake. The strange thing is, everyone slows down when I'm driving around them. Everyone! It's the worst thing ever. What's even more egregious, is that I even find myself, slowing down when passing a reflective 18 wheel gas truck and I see my car's reflection. Then I'm like, wait, that's me. LOL.

Growing up in L.A. my favorite L.A.P.D. car was the Matador followed by Belvedere and Fury. For the CHP the Camaro's and Mustangs were definitely not to be dealt with although I never heard about the engine failure issues with the Camaro's. The overall favorite would have been the Polara because it was hitting about 150 in the 60's on the street. I think it's still the fastest except for maybe the new Charger. Most departments seem to limit them to 130 but, apparently ASP(Arkansas State Police) seem to hit 150 in their chase videos.

For some reason, I have to drive outside the city limits to find police issued Chargers. Interestingly, if you're in northern Texas near the OK/TX border, the highway patrol drive unmarked pickup trucks! They keep the roof lights in a fold-down rack in the cab so the poor bastard never sees them until the last second!

A police force in Belgium equipped their cops with Triumph TR4s in the early 1960s. They were factory upgraded from a generator to an alternator to power the added lighting. But they continued to use the 2 liter, 4 cylinder engine and 4 speed transmission. I don't know if the two seater sports cars were fitted with hard told or left as convertibles. They also might have been fitted with overdrives.

Part of his job was to take a randomly selected vehicle home from the days production for quality control reports. It was always exciting to me and my brothers when he came home with a Pre-commission cruiser or better still the interceptors. Now years after he retired the plant is not only gone but totally razed. Not even the foundations of the building remain. Sad times.
