Why is a Detroit Police Car patrolling Los Angeles Streets? What is that all about?

OK I was following Diane so she could drop of her car to our favorite Automotive Repair Shop. So what do I see in front of Baizer &  Grimmett, I see a vintage Police Cruiser. Well you know me, I had to ask. So John tells me that his client flew to a Red Wings game and saw this cruiser outside. He then proceeded to ask the owner if he would have considered selling.

Interestingly enough the owner said not only that he was considering selling but a resounding YES! Then the new owner decided to drive the cruiser back to Los Angeles. Well half way back to Los Angeles he broke down. So now it is John’s job to get the cruiser back on the road to keep Los Angeles safe for all!

The old police squad cruisers are certainly conversation starters, Endre Barath, Jr.

Endre I bet he got a lot of strange looks when you was driving that police cruiser back to LA :)

Hi Endre -- I've also seen police vehicles while travelling the streets of Southern California.  One of those times, I was showing a client transferring from Boston and on a street in South Pasadena we encountered three Boston Police cars -- yes, it was part of a movie scene being filmed.

I bet he had fun driving the car back home...and seeing a lot of stares as he drove pass other cars that were slowing down because they see a police cruiser.

Endre, certainly he got some looks driving across the country.  We attend the Carlisle Vintage Rally annually, and see hearses and fire engines, but can't say we've ever seen a police cruiser.

The seller was lucky that the buyer got a half block away before it broke down. Not quite like a Real Estate deal. Cool photos Endre.

Thanks for sharing this interesting story. Old police cars have lots of wear and tear in their history.
