Police seize moonshine apparatus from a 1940 Buick, Oslo Norway.

A few more exotics.  Too bad we don't seem to have more than Camaros and Mustangs in this country.

There seem to be some Corvettes but I suspect the Lambos are photo-shopped or maybe just show-cars...:

You are correct, Sir:

I forgot the Vettes and now I remember seeing stories of confiscated drug dealers and pimps cars put into use by Local and State Police Departments.

I would expect that the European exotics would only experience one mechanical breakdown or accident before they were taken out of service.  Even normal periodic maintenance on a Lambo would break the bank for most Police Departments.

I think the maintenance is paid by Lamborghini...
And about the accident... it happened...

Why would you want to ride around in a Lambo when you could have the style and sophistication of this little beauty? Just think, 3-speeds and wheezy sidevalve power - did I say "power"? "That's right madam, we'll be there in due course. These things take time, y'know."

Well it beats the bicycles they had around here!
I didn't think they drove around in cars like that until they invented the "Panda Cars" in the early 1960s...

The only rules here:

  • Photos must be from before 1980.
  • Police cars and paddy wagons only - no ambulances, taxis, etc.

Enjoy, and please, share some of your own!

I was on Google Images looking for UK Clubmans-style racing cars, and the wonders of the internet offered me this. Thought I might as well share it.
