    Seller is from NY. Has been repainted in period NY livery colors. Strangely optioned with power windows and cloth rear seats.

    I agree it should have stayed in its NCHP colors IMO.
    It is strangely optioned, must have been a Sgt's or LT's car.

    My 71 Pontiac Police car was the local Chief's car and is also strangely optioned but no A/C or Pwr windows.

    A Bro-Ham for a police car? That is weird. I agree, those NYS colors are hideous.

    I've seen Chevies and Oldsmobiles, but no Buicks, let alone Caddies, as cop cars from GM.

    No bids on the 1977 Plymouth - priced too high.

    It's a nice car, but his starting bid is/was way too high (more than the car is worth IMO) and those ugly colors probably turned off a lot of prospective buyers.

    Fer Chrissakes, that's from the TV show "Highway Patrol!" You can see Broderick Crawford is the driver!
