Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-06-18 22:23	It could be ANY other department. I know you're looking out for those small details, but we don't know for sure. Besides, I heard something about CPD cars of that era having ford hubcaps, or something like that.
Snookie ◊ 2008-06-19 07:22	That's true. In 1990, all Caprices were ordered without hubcaps to save money, and they came into service fitted with the flat dog dish hubcaps used on 1979-1989 Ford Crown Vics (They have several photos of these Caprices on copcar.com) But in 1989, there were only unmarked units, and no marked cars due to last minute budget crunches. But yeah, I see what you mean. Nice job! -- Last edit: 2008-06-19 07:24:01
