    1968 Ford Galaxie Police Cruiser...Vintage Pix

    I just figured you all might like to see the pictures of my grandpa's old 1968 Ford police car. He was able to buy this car brand new because his brother was a Ford exec at the time and was able to arrange a few mistakes. This car had the 4 bbl 428 V8 and a firm shifting C6 (2nd and 3rd gear rubber). Lively machine.

    Enjoy...

        Yep. Those pix were taken when the car was brand new. And even though the pictures make it look brown, it's actually maroon.

                      Wow, nice car! But I never realized how hodge podge Ford did the hoses in those things. I'm sure you could easily clean 80% of that in a short time frame.

                              Like they say, once you go maroon . . . . .

                              That is one bad@ss car. I think dirty Harry's was blue, wasn't it?

                              The car was new in the photos -- so was it owned by a law enforcement agency, or could the public purchase police vehicles back then?

                              I sure wish the public could purchase new Police Interceptors today. If so, I'd have one sittin' in the garage.


                              By the way, it's kinda funny how, in the fifth photo from the top, that old light blue Chrysler, or whatever it is sitting next to the garage, is already looking like an old hulk, but it's probably not even 10 years old. Cars seemed to age really fast back then for some reason.
