135th Anniversary Crown Victoria in Historical B&W

Lots of neat stuff to tell but very little time. See the Yahoo Group for more information and a new spy photo. Wanted to tell you though, that I will not be able to give you full photos of the car until K Division has done their press release. When that's done, you'll see much more over at the Yahoo Group. Until I get more time to write, take care.

RCMP 135th Anniversary Spy Photos

My Yahoo Group contains this similar article: I'm putting up a folder showing some new Crown Victoria's that Alberta (K Division) RCMP are putting into service to celebrate the135th anniversary of the Force. These are hot off the presses and this is likely the first place anyone will see them. This project comes straight from the hearts of K Division's finest but I won't be surprised to see it copied elsewhere. The CVs are painted in historical colour schemes. There will be six black and white and six blue and white cars. They will use historical decals, as can be seen in this "spy photo". I will add to the folder in the following days. These CVs will sport some old emergency equipment but also have modern plain wrapper clear strobes in all the standard places. I saw the one in the photo today and it now has a red bubble light in the middle of the roof and a right fender "stop police" light. The "stop police" light faces out and rearwards so that when the police vehicle pulls up beside the perpetrator's car they will see the red flashing "stop police" in their eyes (anyone remember that old style of light? Don't worry, I should have pictures soon). The "stop police" spot light flashes alternately from the top half to the bottom half. It's cool. These cars will be used for their service life and then retired. They have all the modern equipment that a normal plain wrapper has including the digital camera systems. Stay tuned. Yes, I have seen this car up close. Yes, you will see more of these cars...if you stay tuned.
