Default Re: 1949 Ford State Police car

I don't recall ever seeing dual exhaust on a flathead V8 Police car.. Most police cars were used for local, urban patrol work, therefore they did not get involved in high speed pursuit work.
The California Highway Patrol set pursuit work on it's ear in '55 when they special ordered the elusive '55 Buick Century 2 dr sdn's for patrol work. The Century's had the Roadmaster 320 CID engine in lieu of the 248 CID Special engine
