Cool 67 Ragtop! Your car sure looks "sinister"

 

[rapidtrans]

Thats sweeter than the Batmobile!

Thanks guys. I do get alot of compliments

 

[tbm3fan]

Thanks... I stand corrected. I suppose they wanted to appear friendly in the video. I don't recall ever seeing a LEO approach an unknown car that casually.

Got another picture of most of the patrol personnel

Bought a new vehicle last night. In the finance room I showed a picture of my Newport to the woman. She said, "What is that, an Impala?"

I was at a demolition derby last night, and was having a conversation about how certain cars are completely forgotten within a generation. Newports are a perfect example of that. Some others would be diplomats, imperials, mustang II, pacers, and delta 88s.

Everyone knew what a Bonneville or "Deuce and a quarter" was too. Car names had a ring to them. MKX or CTS just don't cut it.
i.m.o. anyway.

You can't tell them apart anyway. I used to play games of recognizing cars as a kid ... even side glances of something in a yard at speed. year/make/model. Just doesn't work anymore.

I used to drive around looking for cars or on a road trip circle back to talk to someone with the signs of "this car is my sons but it's been sitting here ... "

I despise many cars names today. What the Hell is a Fit? Prius? Volt? And the use of meaningless numbers and letters. At one time they might have determined something, like the 300TD was a 5 cylinder, 3.0 liter diesel station wagon(That's what the TD signified.). But the other day I saw a Q45 - someone please tell me what I am supposed to know by that????

Funny you asked...
I bought a Q45.
This is the truth: The Q was selected because of its inference to the Q-boats of WW II. To get the inference, Google it.

45 because, of course, it was a 4.5L.

That's not really true, btw...

I think it's a code for the recycling center, like the ones they put on other plastic trash.

Another picture of my friend's car with the officer who was in the original video posted above.

Ken Jensen - original Vehicle Patrol Inspector, after 35-years on the job! Note Ken is also in the original 1973 video clip, behind the car too.

We played that game too on family vacations. We would break it down by year also. Try that today. Plus everything is silver and looks the same.
