Actually, 1988. NYPD purchased the Gran Fury from 1983 to 1987. The first NYPD Diplomats began rolling in the summer of 1988. |

Diplomats have a crosshair grille and the signal light above the headlights from 1984 to 1989. That car is an '80-'83 Diplomat because of the strong vertical bars. Gran Furys had a crosshatch grille. -- Last edit: 2006-04-16 06:51:07 |

Actually, the Diplomat with the signal lights above the headlights, was a limited Special Edition released from 1984 to 1986. The 1980 to 1983 Diplomat was still available after 1984. |

They did predominantly use Gran Fury's, but Diplomats were also used in their fleet. And the chances of this being an actual NYPD car are very slim, so it should be listed as a 1981-1989. |

ive only seen one picture of an nypd diplomat and i thought someone just screwed up the fleet order because it had a spotlight and the wrong lightbar which was federal streethawk and the nypd used the aero twinsonic during that time peroid link to picture Link to "copcardotcom.fotki.com" |

There is indeed a Plymouth involved in this scene. But it's not this car, it's this one: /vehicle.php?id=506280 -- Last edit: 2012-06-02 17:11:31 |

This paragraph:"The Diplomat (Gran Fury) really did well against the Ford Crown Victoria, in part because it was a better POLICE package, as opposed to a civilian rig. Chrysler Fleet knew then how to meet and beat bidding. Straight up in 1984 (the last year I was Fleet Manager), the Gran Fury outpointed the Impala and the CVPI in Michigan, and LA. The only shortcoming was those front shock suspension towers with the weakened front end braces. If Chrysler had redesigned the front suspension to the older style parallel torsion bars, the cars would have been far more acceptable. For the time, the 318 equated itself well. While it may not have been as powerful as the "old" school guys (like me) liked, it was fast enough, and rugged enough to fulfill 50-60,000 miles of police constant abuse without whimpering. Once the front suspension weakness was identified, and fixed, (the problem did NOT cross over to the civilian models) the Diplomat and Fury really were great patrol vehicles. In 1989, Chevrolet launched a new fuel-injected Caprice, and it was far more challenging than past models had been. The Caprice bested the Diplomat and Gran Fury in every category but braking and interior egonomics. The writing had been on the wall for years; and in 1989, the last Dodge Diplomat and Plymouth Gran Fury ran their way down the Kenosha line".

The letters on the grille are too spaced out. Dead giveway that it's a Dodge. -- Last edit: 2019-08-14 04:23:49 |
