We found a gem of a document in the museum archives that we would like to share with you today. Here is a look at the vehicle specifications for a fleet of cars to be purchased by the Minneapolis Police Department in 1974.
As you will recall from an earlier post, 1974 was the year in which the black-and-white squad cars were replaced, for a time, with an all-white model. The squad car pictured above is the older Plymouth Fury re-painted in the all-white color scheme.
If you have a photograph of one of the 1974 models as described in the specifications, or have experiences of driving one of the 1974 models, we would love to hear from you! Please comment below or email us at info@mplspolicemuseum.org
Thank you!
