Gratiot County Michigan Interceptors, Impalas, and Explorers

[Chuck Most]

I so far have not been able to track down Ithaca's new Caprice, but I did get a shot of their current Impala, as well as a 'retired' Gratiot County Ford.



This is an older car- the current Gratiot county cars are solid black.




The Ithaca cars were blue for a while, but they now run black Impalas, as it seems that the blue ones went for way less money at auction when they were taken out of service.

Question- do the police Impalas come without front hubcaps? I ask because this and the other two Ithaca cars have hubcaps on the rear wheels only.

Perhaps so they can have faster pit stops?

Seriously, all the police Impalas around here have a full complement of hubcaps.

Kind of what I thought.

Funny- stopped at the Ithaca post again today, and nobody knows where the new Caprice is. Even though every other police agency in the county knows about it- it's the only Caprice in Gratiot County.

Anyway- managed to get a few more...

And here's a link to an album of Michigan police cars on my Fotki- I plan to update it as frequently as I can- http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/11-reference-pictures/gratiot-county-cop-car/

Ithaca's new Caprice- suprised I haven't seen a diecast of this to go with the Taurus Interceptor yet.

The county guys are running the new Explorers now too-

I have seen MSP with the Explorers.
