I wonder if someone also has Oldsmobile Police Brochures from 68-72?
Would be very interesting.
Also very interesting to know that there have been 2 door police cars aswell. thought they were all 4 doors until i discovered this article and some ford brochures from back in the day.
Would also be interested in a 1970 Dodge and 1967 Chevrolet Brochure as i could not find those as well.
The SPECS booklets had a page on the Police Apprehender equipment in a few of the years. 1968 was the last year that the B01 or B07 packages were offered on the A-body line. Interestingly, as the MT article notes, under the Police Apprehender program it was possible to order a Cutlass or F85 with the 400 motor that was otherwise unavailable outside the 442 models. Also interesting that for 1968, the L77 motor was the 350 HP version of the G-block, but in the police package it was available with a TH400. Civilian 442s only got the 325 HP version with AT that year.
Here are the Police Apprehender pages from the 1966 through 1969 SPECS booklets.
That is not a valid conclusion, the specs books show there was no police car package offered. Plenty of normal cars are bought and made into police cars.
I'll try this again. 1968 was the last year that Olds offered the RPO B01 or B07 Police Apprehender packages on the A-body cars. Police cars are typically bought under fleet sales. If Chief Billy Bob in Podunk, TN turned a 1970 W-30 into a Po-Leece car, it wasn't factory built.
Okay but there were no Factory built (by Oldsmobile) A Body/Cutlass Police Cars in 1969-1972, right?
If some have been converted it was not done by Oldsmobile but by the Departments themselves, right?
