Re: 1949 Ford State Police car
The CHP cars were actually Special 2 door post cars with the 322 Roadmaster (and Century) engines instead of the standard 263 nailhead V8. Buick badged them as Century's to reflect the engine installation. They were the only 2 door post Century's Buick made.
There is a thread about this on the H.A.M.B. which I found quite interesting. The CHP had some 2 door '57 Mecury post cars that are obviously standard transmission cars from watching the programs. I wonder if they had the big 430 Lincoln in them?
