Nice paint job. I also like the hood scoop there. How many Plymouth Furies & whatnot were made with the hood scoop?

I don't thin that's a hood scoop. I believe that's a hood-mounted tachometer.

Were the 1975-78 Dodge Coronet/Monaco & Plymouth Fury even made with hood-mounted tachs?

In my opinion, I like conventional tachometers better because it keeps all the gauges in one place. However, the hood-mounted version could also allow for more gauge space on the dashboard.

Well, I don't think they had room to put the tach on the cluster. If I recall correctly, the cluster is just a large speedometer with a few idiot lights and minor guages (IE- gas and temp).

THAT IS A HOOD SCOOP ON THE PLYMOUTH , I HAD A 1977 PLYMOUTH FURY EX-POLICE CAR WITH THE SAME HOOD SCOOP. SEVERAL COUNTIES IN GEORGIA HAD SOME OF THESE WITH THE SCOOPS. I CAN KICK MYSELF NOW FOR SELLING THE CAR BACK IN THE 1980's.

*sigh* I don't believe this. Funny I don't remember that turn..."

This is what that Arkansas State Trooper said when getting out of his disabled cruiser.

That cruiser WAS a Pontiac Lemans to begin with. When that smokey was "takin' a leak" it was the 2nd time this particular vehicle appeared.

They are hood scoops not tachs. There is a brief shot through the windshield that shows the opening. I wondered if they were functional

The hood scoop marks this as a former DeKalb County, Georgia police unit. The hood scoop (a Cal Custom piece) was installed as a modification by the department on their cruisers, presumably to help with performance.
