1988 Chevy Caprice 9C1 with a scrap lightbar on the roof. |

What makes you think this is a former NYPD Caprice? |
|

lightbar is NOT NYPD issue. |

Spotlight hole. Besides, the entire title credits took place at a real NYPD yard, most likely the one located at Floyd Bennett Field. |

Yes, indeed a 9C1 but not an NYPD model. There were many cuts in the opening montage of the police scrapyard, and I have a feeling that this particular scene was filmed in Los Angeles using a salvaged 9C1 model. Look at how messy the white stripe has been applied. A last-minute props department job. And they used whatever lightbar they could find that remotely resembled an NYPD one. |

I still have my doubts about it being an NYPD car but after viewing the scene, rts' assessment might be right. The only cars visible were Caprices and Plymouth Furys, which fall in line with what the NYPD used in the 80's. Assuming it was an NYPD scrap yard, the producers definitely added damaged non-NYPD light bars to every one of the cars visible. I assume this was to make them look more "police-like." |

Actually that is where the pct. number and the NYPD seal used to be. |
