Cool looking cop cars


Umm...the police cars were pretty cool looking.

So, to sum it up in legal terminology: Get lost, you bum.

They were 1950 Nashes. Back in the 50s they were called upside down bathtubs.

Ahhh...you must have just watched it on TMC and traveled here to see the posts about it. Thanks for the info on the cars. I can see where they get the "upside down bathtub" nickname, but the two tone paint job looked cool. Those cars seemed like they were about three blocks long.
