Subject: Stolen NY Plates Author: Bob Herrington [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:55:57 08/27/02 Tue In reply to: Grainy 's message, "Stolen NYSP license plates" on 10:43:25 08/26/02 Mon I found all this very good food for thought, and it inspired me to have a talk with the Chief of Police in my hometown. He was impressed with what I do with my 67 Plymouth and the Historic Police Honor Guard, and gave me "letter of introduction" which basically is an open letter to other police stating that I am a well known legitimate car collector, and my car is used respectfully in shows and that I made an agreement with the police in my town to keep the lights covered, and magnetic emblems off when in motion on the road enroute to shows and parades. I keep this letter in the glovebox with the registration and insurance info to give any questioning officer. I don't know if other police chiefs will be as open as the one in my home town, but worth a try to all you other good and conscientious police car collectors -- maybe a letter like that can be won with responsible ownership and good communication!

Subject Author Date irresponsibility Bryan 22:26:53 08/27/02 Tue Great, here goes another piece of our freedoms. Ban daily drivers. What's next? Ban all restored white police cars, because white is too close to reality? Most current squads are white, remember? And you sure do forget that when the hobby started, most in the hobby started out with daily drivers that were then restored. But maybe you are not in the hobby and wouldn't know much about it? Giant 09:39:40 08/28/02 Wed Listen, half-wit -- Bryan, 13:28:34 08/28/02 Wed Bryan: point taken, sir....................but, those 1991+ Caprices in particular will be gone sooner than anybody wants to admit to...........and will indeed qualify as 20+ YO vehicles in less than 8 years.................and will be damn near impossible to find............as it stands: the first 1991 big Chevy's came out in early 1990...............over 12 years ago! And, to be honest, IMHO; one would be wise in stockpiling 'police' only parts for the 1990's cars.............in particular the Caprice. Hell, it has been out of production for well over 5 years now. (NT) -- Bearhawke in Az (where there ARE still 1994-96 Caprices STILL in service), 19:27:52 08/28/02 Wed True. A 1991 Caprice is 11 years old, but as you stated yourself you live in a place where 94 to 96s are still in service -- Bryan, 22:00:28 08/28/02 Wed I've been to plenty -- DA, 09:43:23 08/29/02 Thu Yeah, daily driver, that means put lots of antennas and lights on the rear deck so everyone thinks your something your not, or as a total squirrel said @ a show last year " everybody thinks I'm a cop" (NT) Frank W 09:44:33 08/28/02 Wed
