Commander 57 ◊ 2010-11-08 02:28	Probably the most intimidating police cruiser I've ever seen. How would you like to see that front end in your rear view mirror?
jettalover ◊ 2010-11-09 04:21	I agree with Commamnder.
portacker ◊ 2012-07-26 14:08	That front end looks like a scowl from a cop! One on the truly ugly cars ever to grace US highways! Thanks, Virgil Exner! -- Last edit: 2012-07-26 14:20:14
Commander 57 ◊ 2012-07-26 14:50	I don't find it "ugly". "Individualistic" and "distinctive" are the words I would choose. (Not like today's cookie cutter car designs.)

He puts it in first to take off at 07:20. (All Torqueflites were push button then.) So whether this Dodge is real cop car or not, the standard trans is unusual. Edit: watched it again, not so sure cop 1130 doesn'talso punch Torqueflite with left hand... -- Last edit: 2025-11-29 02:25:03
