Re: Watch out for CA CHP V70-XC70 01

posted by  someone claiming to be Uncle Olaf on  Sat Oct 28 14:51 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Thought I had read that after the merger there was a strategic decision on the part of Ford to only market the Crown Vic, Mustang and Explorer 2wd for law enforcement use in the USA. No sense in canibilizing their own market. Sadly, no more T5 cruisers for us! (Think they might give us "professional courtesy"? I'm actually relieved that most PDs will never find out just how fast a brick can be!)

Since Volvos are the ubiquitous police cruiser all over Europe, I'd guess they would still market the 80-70-60 series there.

At least you're not in Holland. Their Highway Patrol has used Porsche Targas since the 1960s. (and 356 cabriolets since the 1950s!)
