Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-05-19 02:58	Well of course its dark due to the picture quality/shadowing
Snookie ◊ 2009-05-19 06:46	Did Pittsburgh have these as squad cars?

Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-05-28 23:21	It's definitely a Chrysler Corp. M-body, no doubt about that.
kevinkoul ◊ 2011-05-25 05:38	I'd lean towards it being a Plymouth Fury, judging by the lack of Dodge emblem. Also, because I found this: Link to "cgi.ebay.com" This car is for sale right now.

In the late '70s, they used Plymouth Furies and Plymouth Volares, and in the mid-'80s they started using various FWD GM models (equal parts Chevrolet Celebrities, Pontiac 6000s/Bonnevilles, Oldsmobile 88s, and Buick LeSabres).
