    The only place that I have seen Buick police cars was in Calcishieu Parish Louisiana. They were standard shift with 3 on the collum and they would really run.

    The only Buick police cars that I know of around here, were the two T-Types that the Pittsburgh Police had. I see the one pretty often its just a dark blue. The dude who owns it plans a repaint in the near future.

    Did'nt it was a Police Buick car in TV series Kojak ? If my memory is good (I was very young at this time) It was a 74-76 Buick Century or Regal ? My friend had one of those when we were playing with our HotWheels lol !

    Edit : after I saw the post refered by Phil on the AACA Forum I found a picture of the Kojak's 75 Buick police car .

    yes and some centurys were used in a bunch of 70s movies

    not many buicks were used because they were upscale cars

    I just got the skirt from my Beacon Ray rechromed.
    Also, It got a new blue dome and badge mounted.
    There is even a really loud vintage siren behind the grille now. :eek2:
    Once I can find the correct #27L & #27R brackets, the Unity spotlights will get mounted. :bglasses:

    We have a few Buick police car replicas in the Netherlands, one of them is a 1955 Super.

    Didn't the FBI order a lot GN's in the late 80's ?

    otter It'll be done someday.

    There was an episode of Hawaii 5-0 in which the bad guy drove an orange 69 Wildcat, I think he was an undercover cop gone bad. My 1969 Chassis service manual has a chapter in the back showing several cop car parts and part numbers. Doesn't Greg Gessler's 70 have a police speedometer that goes to 200 m.p.h.?
    Neat stuff!
