FIVE-OHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!


Please tell me what it is with Ford? Are they the official Police Car of the world? On my daily walk, i came across the TouLiu Police Station. And there parked in the ready to go area were 2 squad cars!! I'm not quite sure what model they were, but the certainly weren't the Crown Vic's favored by U.S. Police departments!


To be fair, the other two squad cars in the ready lot were Toyota's! But the sight of the Fords was catchy! While there were differences to U.S. typical police cars -- no barrier between the front and back seats and no shotgun rack. Some of the appointments were very nice and worth a closer look!

Besides the rich Corinthian leather, the front and rear seats have a very delicately embroidered cover over the headrests as shown. i've seen this a lot in individual cars and taxicabs! A nice touch for those times when you get to ride in the back!!!!


Now, the deck behind the rear seats seemed to be a catch-all! A measuring tape for investigating traffic accidents, and handi wipe towelettes for passengers and breatalizer tubes!!!! kind of a cross between car-54 and andy of mayberry!


And then there is the S.W.A.T. Van (?) Loaded and ready to roll at a seconds notice!!! (Cue the music from the old tv show SWAT! (and the movie too!)
