The Police Charger nobody picked up...

[Chris G.]

  Ya dark blue looks ok. You can hardly tell it's a 4 door. This may come as a news flash to some, but I don't hate the car as much as I used to. 

You da man Big L.    It's only a matter of time before you order one.

My guess is it's not a Police car.  Looking in the back seat I see no seperation from the prisoner via a cage or glass.  And as I understand it cop cars usually have a back seat with reliefs for your arms while cuffed.  The only thing that I see that would set it off as a cop car is the spot light and the wheels and I'm sure you can pick those up almost anywhere.  I'm sure the cops here will correct me on this.

The cage is not installed by Dodge nor the dealerships.  Our department contracts out to a company to transfer the cages over from one car to another.  Now again, this is for our crown vics but from what I hae heard, the chargers are too small in the back and will not allow a full cage in the back.  New single sided cages are being made for the chargers and requires removal of the front pass. side seat.

As for rear seat with the relief, that is also another option that departments would have installed.  That would not come from the dealer or Dodge itself.

To answer the question about police packages being paid for prior to them being built.  The manufacturers would build the cars with the packages and have the dealerships sit on them.  Usually the demand for police cars are so big that they usually dont last long on the lots as cars are abused.  After all.... they arent your car.
