This giant, hardbound reference features the finest cars built for United States law enforcement agencies, from the 1930s to today. Arranged in chronological order, the encyclopedic collection of archival photography is complemented by a concise text revealing the evolution of the police car, including standard equipment, special options, and model histories. With high-horsepower engines, quick shifting, bullet-proof transmissions, high-performance suspensions, and heavy-duty components, these extraordinary cars are something to behold -- as Elwood Blues noted in The Blues Brothers, Cop engine, cop shocks, cop radio.
