Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
I wonder where all those roadsters are now and how many are still around.

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
Curious if those are horns or sirens mounted on the passenger side?

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
Also, the first car appears to have knobby style (winter?) tires on it.

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
These roadsters bring to mind one that I grew up with that my father owned. I must have "driven" that car 50,000 miles when it was sitting up on blocks in the barn. He and I both worked on restoring it from when I was maybe eight years old on. I learned a lot about cars from that and my dad. Great memories.

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
The North Carolina Transportation Museum had/has a 30's Ford Police Car (not Model A) that featured a BulletProof Glass windshield. Worth the visit for the trains alone if you are in Central NC.

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
I like the photos on theoldmotor.com, but find the site a little hard to search. I couldn't find this picture of roadsters on there. Can you post a direct link?
Thanks!

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
And...did the cops have radios in their roadsters or did they have to find a pay phone in an emergency!?

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
Thanks. I don't know why I didn't see the search box. I still couldn't find this particular image (which I was hoping to see in higher resolution), but I now know how to search.

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
I once worked with a retired motorcycle cop from the Kansas City area. I asked what he did when he picked up someone and had to take them to jail. He told me they handcuffed them to something like a lightpole and told them " don'tgo away" until he could go to a phone box and call for the paddywagon

Re: The Coppers and their Roadsters are coming.
I still have an unrestored 30 standard.It was originally painted a color that supposedly not used when it was built,and it has a factory rumble seat.People have sworn up and down that they never came that way,and I have let anybody that wanted to check it out.They have all agreed that it is factory.The car was painted in the 50's,mice ate the interior,so somebody redid the seats with some of the toughest material known to man.The car has somewhere around 35000 miles on it now.I would prefer a trunk,but the dogs ride in the rumble seat.When you park a car with a pair of 100 pound rotweilers in the back people give it a wide berth.What people don't know is that they could just jump in and drive off,dogs and all.
