I used to have some customer sites in the San Juan Mountains and opted to take my personal vehicle instead of the work car. 100% worth it.

1959 Chrysler 300E convertible with 413 cubic inch V-8 of 380 horsepower (SAE gross) -- definitely a different era.

I'm not sure what year is that Quebec Provincial Police vehicle but the caption says:
" The good old days when you could evade the police with a moped." |

I had the Dodge version. 1981 2-door. Worst car I ever owned. The dashboard literally fell off the frame work. I had to put increasingly larger PK screws into the plastic to hold it together. On rough roads, the suspension sounded like it had 500,000 miles on it without any maintenance. On one trip out of town a pin came out of the transmission case and I could no longer select 3rd or 4th gears.
Great idea Iacocca, but quality follow-through sucked.

A few photos I took on some of my trips to Atco Raceway over the years of other people's cars as well as a pic of the aftermath of me doing donuts in a Fiat 124. :b ellyroll

I don't know what make the cop cars were but they didn't have any rotating lights, just two round, flat, flashing red lights mounted on a single roof rack type bar spaced about 3 to 4 feet apart. They didn't seem to have very much power. Could they have been K-cars? Upon doing a quick Google search this is the style of light bar I remember but I'm not getting anything from this car. Maybe I'm getting old.

I was newly married, had little money and gave up my regular cab Datsun-by Nissan 4x4 for it. Looking back, I should have kept the truck.

This is what I had except it was lifted and on 35" tires... and it was black. Not much of a family car but it was great fun on the trails. I should have kept that truck.

1962 Chevrolet Impala 409 SS convertible (hardtop with vinyl roof?)
If you ordered the big-block 409 V-8 engine, it only came with manual transmission.
