Sighhhh- '57 Chev 2 door Bel Aire hardtop police car?? THAT has always bugged me. Ever watch the Perry Mason reruns? Lt. Tragg arrives in a '57 Chevy 150 (Delray) 4 door withOUT whitewall tires and with the cheapo hub caps in lieu of garish wheel covers. And I am sure there was NO AM radio in the unit as well.
And THAT IS the way it WAS back in those halcyon days of yore----ask any of us who lived back then. Criminals just weren't treated to a sporty ride, and neither were "the fuzz". Heh heh....-Salty Rails
