Nice job, G! I can almost see a young Sergeant Dan Matthews patrolling Highway 101 practicing his oral boards responses for the future Superintendent's promotion.




Guess I should build one. Shoot! Guess I should build anything!

Nice Olds!

I can just make out that it's a highway patrol car, but not where it's from.

David,

The door stars say "California Highway Patrol" and the license plate is CA Exempt (government).

The "new" door stars (like G's model wears) started in 1949, but CHP didn't add the familiar "Highway Patrol" lettering archs over the door stars until 1959.

Just chiming in, its been awhile but the 1948 Ford I was doing for this has passed on during my move. Sadly while I was very protective of my modelling bench, one of the movers got ahold of it and put it in with some heavy stuff. It suffered major damage, so it has been taken off of life support and parts that could be salvaged are being donated.
