That's interesting. The article I have is from C/D Oct 1969 page 119..The Black and White [yellow now] short article title

"Son of Cousin of Boss Wagon"

"This year we ended up with a retina-detaching, gold metalflake billboard with star billing [in the form of 12-inch letters] going to C/D and credits going to Oldsmobile, 455 cu.in. and Hurst as well. The ram-air engine has been modified by Hurst [same as the 380-hp unit used in the Hurst-Olds........ '

It doesn't have a 69 H/O hood scoop nor can I make out any under bumper scoops. I see no mirrors from the pasanger side pic, But it says Car Driver in bold letters and Oldsmobile over the rear wheel well. The article says it's sporting 670X15 tires that look like on SSII wheels.

It goes on to say, "SOCOBW came equipted with air conditioning. Front suspension components include all the parts from the super heavy duty Police Interceptor package, including a rear anti-sway bar."
