Vintage patrol cars

Was the Montreal police department planning on chasing Yugos or Stovebolt-powered Pontiac Parisiennes with these?



Maybe, they'd have a chance at doing more than issuing parking tickets and making house calls, if theirs were Gordini powered?

 

Lisbon Maine

 

I have never seen Towncar Cruisers before, nice! Figures its was Dearborn MI, Home to FMC. That Building is still in use today only about 12 miles north of my house.

 

Being not that far from Romulus do you know if DeVillbis still has their headquarters there? A gradeschool buddy of mine's dad used to run the place

 

The air compressor & spray gun Mfg, or the health care Co. ?

The paint spraying DeVillbiss moved to Wixom Mi about 30 miles North in the 1990's

 

Now they're in the health care business? When no one will ever need spray guns again, people will continue to get ill

 

Nice Shot of another unusual Patrol car.

As for DeVillbiss apparently they started out as a Health care equipment supplier in the mid 1800's. Thier 1st product was an atomizer to spray liquid medications down peoples throats easier. The spray guns evolved from that product. So they have always been in the health care Business.

 

Which Adam 12 was your favorite? were they any others?

 

The first one, first season, was a late Sixties Belvedere the LAPD loaned them till they received the Satellite, top photo.

 

My favorite was the second Satellite, bottom photo.

 

One would think that people weren't so reckless, back then
