Sorry to keep on bothering you about this, but how can you know it's even really a 1985? I mean, I know that the LAPD used Impalas in both 1982 and 1985, but this could be another car that was dressed up as a police car. Don't forget, LAPD cars weren't too complicated to make back then and the Aerodynic lightbar was a widely used lightbar. Besides, I can tell you that most of the LAPD Crown Victorias (and other movie police cars, for that matter) that are posted on the site are incorrect and not authentic. Just a point I wanted to bring up.

I agree ford guy. Most such cars are props prepared for the movie - not real police vehicles.

Well, most are authentic police-package vehicles, but the majority of these movie cars are dressed up to represent a different agency than the one the police vehicle actually served in.

Speeking of dressed up; the thumbnail showing the driver's door has the LAPD "service motto" incorrectly on the right side of the LAPD seal. I wonder if the words are changed from what a in-service LAPD cruiser would say?

I'm not sure. I don't know of any known photos of REAL LAPD Impala's, so I can't tell. But as I said before, this one is probably not authentic LAPD.

This one isn't authentic. The lightbar is positioned toward the center on the rooftop, whereas the actual lightbar was positioned toward the front of the roof.

So then why did you say 1985 if you knew it wasn't authentic?
