Default Police attend shooting in '54 Ford ...

Lifted from Facebook ..

The photo, which was shot by Timothy Franzese of Facebook’s Public Safety Incidents and later submitted to RCNS, shows a line of patrol vehicles that had raced to the scene to assist the officer being shot at.

In the line of newer model Crown Victoria’s and SUV’s, one unique patrol vehicle – a fully restored, 1954 Ford Hemet PD squad car – stuck out from the others like the relic from the past that it is.

Although the classic Ford is usually seen parked at car shows and other special events, or being driven in the San Jacinto valley’s 4th of July and Christmas parades, when yesterday’s call for help went out it was the vehicle that sped Hemet PD’s Cpt. Brock to the crisis and into the line of fire.

As it turned out the captain was actually driving the historically accurate patrol car – complete with rooftop and side red lights, siren, and police radio – to a special event when he heard the officer’s distress call, turned around, and raced to the scene.
Imagine the outcry from the politically correct brigade if Aussie police rocked up in a '55 Customline

Kind of cool, imagine an XB squad car rocking up.

I don't think the PC brigade would give two rats, more around the rabid car enthusiasts who point out the Commodore Divvy wagon is unsafe (too heavy), that cops should only be in high powered 4 door sedans lol.
