Commander 57 ◊ 2012-08-20 22:36	Has this really been listed as a 1970 for over 5 years?? It's a 1971. Changing.

Detectives tend to have more upscale cars. For example, LAPD used to issue Mercury Montegos to detectives. leoz wrote So back then were parts of New York complete wastlands with junkheaps like these everywhere? No. That's just a junkyard, such as you'd find anywhere. -- Last edit: 2013-03-04 04:46:20
