although a challenger police car would be cool, it would not be the main car used in a fleet. i could see some departments having one for show, or to be used as a supervisor car or a DARE car. as for police packages, even the police package charger does not come equipped. everything you see on police cars (perhaps not including spotlights) has to be installed by a separate company. i never understood why they call it a police package car when it doesn't come with any equipment.

Defining a package suitable for Police Work is easy today. Just say "Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor." Chevrolet claims they have as good a car in the Impala with the Police options. I, for one, would say that the jury is still out on the Impala. After all, new agers raved about the Ford Taurus when it introduced front wheel drive as a police vocabulary, and they were not so hot. For a fact, and well into the late 1990s, they defined what not to build as a police car. Thereby Ford left the front wheel drive business to concentrate on the rear wheel drive, and large Ford Crown Victoria. And it hasn't been so easy for Ford in the Police Interceptor business either. Florida Highway Patrol almost sued Ford when they lost a couple Troopers in rear end collisions. The body integrity was so poor that the body seams easily split, allowing raw gasoline to enter the passenger compartment. The inevitable result was horrifying.
Most older cops, such as the majority of the Florida Highway Patrol, recall earlier times, when Chrysler lead the way in building police vehicles. If a metal body seam in a Plymouth called for three spot welds per inch to put it together, Plymouth put nine! No bodyman ever welcomed a MoPar police vehicle into their shop with a smile. The bodies were tough, and required much work to straighten them out. Besides the extra welds, there were heavy duty panals, extra cross members, and body stiffeners that were not always included in Chrysler shop manuals.
As for the new Intrepid Police Car, I am going to adopt a wait and see attitude. This puppy better be, for all intents and purposes, a smash home run right out of the box. It hasn't hit the street yet, so it may yet be all smoke and mirrors. I am wondering if they will have a final version available for the Michigan State Police Tests that usually occur sometime around now. Perhaps Dr. Zatz will keep us up to the minute posted on this.
For myself, I noted in one of my Grandfather's journals that his friend and eventual family attorney had given him advice late in 1928. That consisted of telling him to always go after "fleet" business. Retail automobile trade goes up and down with the times. Fleets will always be around, and rarely ever go backwards. As cities or business grew, so did their needs for transportation. It was good advice, and well heeded. By being in the know as well as the center of the show, our dealership handily survived the 1929 financial crash and subsequent depression.
One of the earliest efforts was the sale of 22 1930 Plymouth model 30Us to the local county sheriff. Cost of each 2 door 4 passenger coupe was $464. Net profit on each unit to us was $60. Total of the sale was $1,320. Not so big by today's standards. But in 1930, there was not much money, and even less work. A 40 hour work week, if you could get it, earned you $4 for the week. That $1,320 after overhead for the store meant keeping several men in employment for 4 or 5 months. By constant research and close to cost bidding, grandpa kept the store alive with continuous work. Believe me, it meant a lot to our family, and even more to the men.
Certainly, those cars were not what eventually would constitute a police package. However, the fallout from the 1934 Airflow models would lead to the top police car package in the late 1960s throughout the 1980s. In 1935, DeSoto bounded back to life with the Airsteam line of cars. With the great prices, taxi fleets snapped up 1935 DeSoto 4 door models. They were powerful yet economical as well as being the right size for the job.
The next year, 1936, was the first year that Chrysler kept a record that specifically set forth its taxi production. After that, it didn't make any distinction until the late 1950s.
So, what did you get for a taxi when you bought one from Chrysler? Longer wheelbase than standard. The '36 DeSoto rode on a 116 inches. The taxi model was 118 inches. O.K., a silly two inches difference. But it sold! Larger clutch. 10 inch as opposed to standard 9 inch. Different transmission, presumably from either the Chrysler line or Dodge truck division. Extra bracing in the cowl, pan and truck structures of the body. Heavy duty seat springs. Larger generator and heavier battery. Larger radiator, probably from the Dodge truck line. Brakes were already the hydraulic Lockheed, the same as the Chrysler, so no changes there. [Chevrolet and Ford were still stopping with mechanical brakes-SCARY] The standard engine was the 241 cubic inch six cylinder, however it made 100 horsepower as opposed to the same engine in a Chrysler that made 93.
This car and this line set the pattern for all future taxi packages in Chrysler cars. Eventually, all manufacturers would have to follow the lead. But, do we see a pattern here?
Basically, a police car is seperated from taxi by a very thin blue line. While taxis may be held with little more than mundane interest, everyone looks at police cars. In reality the only difference is the color on the sheet metal. The engine does not make a police car!
What makes a police package is the overall definition of use of the car itself. In large urban settings, a humongous V-8 is a waste. Like New York (prayers are with the PD and FD 9/11) where transportation to a call is more vital that roaring horsepower. In that congested city, 40 miles an hour is dangerous. Therefore a nice six cylinder sufficed for years. The new darling of the NYPD appears to be the Chevrolet Impala. Smaller than the Ford Crown Vic, and less of an engine to feed gasoline. However, the application and requirements for extended, exerted duty is no less.
Disregarding engines, fleet cars need heavy duty components, such as brakes, shocks, transmissions, differentials, cooling systems, body structure, and electrical system, and, in the interior, heavy duty seat springs, cushions, floor panals, floor mats, switch gear, enlarged glass anchorage, window bracing, and wiring.
Does that sound like a taxi? Yes. Does it sound like a cop car? Yes. All that differs is where it is going to be used, and what color is it going to be. The choice of engines, such as in the Ford Crown Victoria, is somewhat limited. Yet, it gets the job done. That is all you can ask for any package, taxi or police.
