Let's see somebody doing that in their brand new Audi,Porsche or Volvo...I don't they'd even seriously consider it.some might mull it over for a few moments,then "snap back to reality"...This reality looks more fun.
My Department tried these for patrol use. VERY poor decision. Gutless, no room for equipment or prisoners, daily breakdowns. Wagoneers were almost as bad.......
Equipment in the wagon, prisoners hog tied and horse whiped then strapped to the roof.....for that nice long drive into the hills, in winter conditions, to be dumped off in the middle of no where......sounds like a perfect police package to me!
Gutless, maybe, but that didn't mean they weren't capable. Great 4x4 wagon! Love this shot. Really shows what it can do!
Man, there were TONS of these on the road when I was a kid. I always thought they looked kind of frumpy back then, but now I just miss seeing them.
