Q-Ball ◊ 2008-09-30 19:59	I agree. The police forces will not start to use caprices until the late 1970's, and there is no way it could be a biscayne, because production seized in 1972, think. So it is an Impala. Could it be a 9C1, or whatever police package was out at that time?
Ddey65 ◊ 2008-09-30 20:06	Actually, Caprices weren't used unti the mid-1980's when Chevy dropped the Impala in 1985. -- Last edit: 2008-09-30 20:12:28 (G-MANN)
Q-Ball ◊ 2008-09-30 20:10	you are right on the ball, Ddey. it aint a race
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-30 20:13	But then this is a film so that probably isn't a real police car.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-30 20:18	Did the 1973 Caprice have a Crown badge on the bonnet lid instead of a Chevy bow-tie badge in the middle of the grille? -- Last edit: 2008-09-30 20:20:20
Q-Ball ◊ 2008-09-30 20:19	i dont know. maybe Ddey could tell you
Ddey65 ◊ 2008-09-30 22:05	1973 Caprice's did have the Fleur-de-Lys crest above the grille on the hood. '73 Caprice Classics had them on the grille. Either way, this one is the Impala. -- Last edit: 2008-09-30 22:06:04
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-30 22:07	That makes this an Impala, it has the bow-tie badge in the middle of the grille.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-09-30 23:21	Some more Impala sedans: -- Last edit: 2008-09-30 23:34:22
taxiguy ◊ 2008-10-01 00:45	Um, am I the only one that notices this police car has a VINYL ROOF?
ford_guy ◊ 2008-10-01 00:47	That's because it's not an actual police-package car, simply a civilian model.
drujon ◊ 2008-10-01 18:10	I am sure GM provided the cars for the film so an Impala with a vinyl top was used as cop car in a very non-cop car color I might add. These were probably early production, or press cars that Chevrolet had had no intention of actually selling so it was no big deal to give them to the production company for free publicity. -- Last edit: 2008-10-01 18:10:28
police car fan ◊ 2011-07-14 21:10	I wonder of the sherrif used that light if I compare it with other Louisiana state patrol cars
