Ten Greatest American Police Patrol Cars
Matt Hardigree | Jalopnik

Whether on the big screen or the rear-view mirror, the radio car is as much a part of the ubiquitous American landscape as the golden arches of McDonalds or the billboards offering “Color TV” to road-weary travelers. Though they represent different things to different people, and we don’t always love the people inside, they’re there and, in the true American spirit, the cars are usually big, fast and strong. Which is why we love them. Check them all out and vote for your favorite below the jump.

Well, sometimes is really nice to be a cop, isn't it? These cars are awesome, I wouldn't refuse the chance to drive one myself but I don't think that chance will come along. There's a reason why you don't find these cars on car donations lists, they go with a different regime.

I'm glad they included the iconic Dodge Diplomat but they totally forgot the late 80's Chevy Caprice 9C1. That surely should have made the list!

I'll have to vote for the 96 Chevrolet Caprice. It's outrun a 93 Mustang, notice I did not say take it from a dead stop. Not that anyone would ever race the two.

Yeah, MSP!! I have always thought that these guys (my heros since I understood what and who they were) had the best looking units on the highways!! And I don't care what anyone says, those old 'gumball machine' top lights were beacons of hope to all of us who lived in the Michigan boonies!
