The Cleveland suburb I lived in from '17-23 had a few of them, both unmarked detective cars and a couple w/ light bars and the dark gray on black markings.  Replaced a few years ago w/ Explorers.

Hard to find a better cop car than a Crown Vic.

One of the stupidest things that Ford did was to dump the Panther platform. They should've invested in updates (you know, U.S. Gov't mandated rubbish, such a traction control) rather than foist Fœcal-Boost and wrong wheel drive bollocks-equipped cars and Explorers (the latter would be fine if they weren't slagged with that stupid Fœcal Boost V6) .

But, I digress...

150,000 miles on my 2004 CVPI -  21,000 of which were put on by yours truly. Rock solid car !

My nephew had one of these Caprices.  It had 365 net horsepower and was really quick off the line and strong through the gears.  He sold it since he has a Corvette and recently bought a new car.

There is an annual get together in Indianapolis in early September if you are a fan of the Holden's.  As a former owner of a departed G8, I went over last year (just didn't have time this year).  Incredible turn out and very gracious host.  I really wanted to go this year as the raffle was for a Ute.

I loves me some 9c1. I have owned at least 20 B-bodies from 94-96 including 7 9c1s, and one 1A2 police wagon. Also owned a 2012 Holden built Caprice like the one pictured above. 

Here is a few of my cars.

 

I had the 2012 painted, and new hubcaps installed, and it was car #24 of the Billerica, Ma. police Department. 6.0 L77/6L80E/2.93 Limited slip 

The single photo of the Grand Sport themed 1995 9C1 was a Pennsylvania State police car. 5.7 LT1/4L60E/3.23 GM Auburn limited slip from an L99 powered 9C1

The 1995 1A2 wagon was NY Thruway car with its original color. (Dark Grey Green Metallic) 5.7 LT1/4L60E/3.42 Eaton TrueTrac
