There are a few pictures of NYC police cars around,in the book The Model A Ford as Henry built it there is a picture of the new cruisers.They are 31 Standard roadsters,(I see these are 30's)and with only 5000 or so built it looks like the city got a big charge of them.Cruisers were treated the same as now,as a disposable tool.I would bet it would be a rarity to find one that survived.What I want to know is,what did they do with the guys they arrested? Throw them over the hood or spare tire like a dead deer? Actually I think I remember reading about the paddy wagons on a regular route that would make pickups at certain points,and at set times,like a bus.In the summer we have a cop that rides around the little downtown area on a bicycle at night.We all tease him about what he does with the people he catches.He's a good sport,he says he tells them to get up on those handlebars right now,I'm runnin you in.
