Still not very eye-catching but maybe that's what they want. The old graphics look like they'd be more at home on an Access-A-Ride car than an RMP.

Hadn't realized that the Chevy has no column or dash mounted shifter... that just look weird

Chevy realized that a console shifter was stupid and since made the Caprice with a column shifter.

Here is a Traffic Safety car, I was driving when I took it so not the best.

I like it.

Out here in the wild west, it seems like all the departments are repainting the cars black and white as they were in the 50s. I'm not sure what the reason for this is. I assume it's to make the cars instantly identifiable as police vehicles. But when the sides say POLICE in big letters, and there's an overhead light bar, it's hard to mistake it for anything else, regardless of the color,
