probably the same car here in episode 3.09 @12:57
Looks like this Coronet has the d500 package.

mrroberts wrote Each year of the show they used patrol cars just like the real CHP. 2 door sedans, Buicks, Olds, Mercurys, and my favorites the 57, 58, 59 Dodge Coronet D 500s.


Those '57 Mercs are butt-ugly, and some of the Buicks (especially the '58s) look so clunky.

But the Dodges rock!
In 1957 they ran 310hp D500s and some agencies ran dual-quad 325hp Super D500s.
(the real police units typically avoided the badges on trunk deck)

But the Ohio Turnpike Pursuits trumped 'em all. In '57 they purchased 8-10 of the rare D501s:
powered by the 354-cu.in. Chrysler hemi with dual Carter WCFB four-barrels, 11.0:1 compression.
340hp rating was said to be conservative.
Beefed up suspensions using Chrysler, Imperial and light truck parts.
Perhaps the fastest car on the road in '57, built too late for the stock car season, but participated in some sports car races.
Only 56 were built.

If it was mine, I would do a little hedge trimming.

Broddy must have enjoyed driving this d500.

Speaking of narrow, take a look at those exhause ports.
