I drove a 94 Caprice with the LT4 Corvette engine under the hood, best unit I had. I had to turn it in 2 years later for a Crown Vic. It was a step down, that Caprice ran circles around the Fords. Also when Chevy stopped making the Caprice Ford marked up its Police Package Cars by $4000. Back then on a Government contract patrol units started less than $20 grand.
That there is still a Chrysler K car running...let alone as a built out police car is STUNNING. How they didnt take officer safety into account back then. Was a tin can on 4 lug wheels! Beautiful Caprice and Diplomat! WOW!
Its alive and well ! We will have the K Car back out on October 7 2023 for the same show this year. NYPD and many large cities used the K Car, called a Scout Car as patrol vehicles, spped is not needed in the cities
In the old movie “The French Connection” with Gene Hackman, there are a few scenes with the ‘66 Chevy NYPD Cars running around, and they are no where near as nice as this one in the video is. They’ve obviously been on the street for a good while & in the one scene there is a shot of the WTC’s still under construction, ironically.
Plymouth Fury’s were the best! They flew. They were the right size for driving on the sidewalk when the roads were blocked with traffic and we needed to be there for that 10-13 or that 10-85 F/W. The next best one was the Crown Vic. They just hauled Ass! Build like a brick shit house. Nice and comfy. Chevy’s fell apart. They didn’t hold up. Wow, they bring back memories. Nothing like driving a new RMP 100 + to a run…..

Whenever I see a squad car witht the single rotating light the police squad theme song fires in my brain.

yup, total POS
K car must mean it is a Kop car.
Don’t forget that Biscayne now. Looked pretty good too. 😊
Great looking cars. Love the sound of that Pulsator Siren at the end of the video.
بففف
The N.Y.P.D. police cars that I grew up were the blue & white colored police cars from the fuselage style in 1972 to the square style in 1986.
That Chrysler K car must’ve been use for writing parking tickets🤣
They were often used to patrol military bases.
Makes me feel old watching this i remember those days 😅
Did that K Car have the optional 440 interceptor engine?
i loved getin chased by these back in the 70's/80's 😄
No Crown Victoria? That's disappointing.
the most I like about the vintage NYPD cars is the colorless beacon cover
This is so rad!
That 78 Monaco would've been good to see
I Love NYPD
やっぱり、セダンのパトカー🚓カッコよくて、憧れます、映画🎦見た車たち、素敵ですね～👍👍👍🎶✨😉😊🙆💯

On the 91 Caprice, do you think they have enough lights up there?
Wow! Do they still have this event? If so I have to go!
There is one October 7th 2023
Would of liked to see that Fox Mustang Notchback those were cool Interceptors
Whats the song in the backround?
3:45 anyone noticed the echo-1 in the backround
And an Adam West era Batmobile as well.
I imagine the K cars were the hardest on maintenance budgets! They were problematic cars

And they even played Rush!
I’m looking for a signal stat dual comm and pse code3 bars
Hill Street Blues!
That’s some serious amperage draw!
Anyone else see the general Lee in the back
Really good video! Thanks for posting this.
whoever allowed karaoke was doing a disservice
Governors Island.
K car? You're joking.
How can I be apart of the vintage fleet ?
I got a vintage police car 😊
What do you have?
Muito legal viu Chicago p.d sempre🛂🛃👮
Wow!
Chicago p.d sempre
Cool they don't make them anymore.
Wow
Lol k car
Police
Lame
You basically showed three cars.... There were SO MANY more...
Look at my other videos, this videos focus was the NYPD fleet
Terrible band
Absolutely awful right ?? Yikes !
Some videos are much better on mute.
I cant control the background noise.
Not to brag but I've most likely ridden in the back of every single one of those cars.
Took me a second 😂
