My condolences to you and your family on your father in law's passing. I'm glad you were able to revisit the CHP office and take that walk back in time.

0255 Lives Again! (At least vicariously through 0327)
 

Just got back from the Ripon/Menlo Park PD Emergency Vehicle show in Ripon, CA. Me and my wife drove 0327 there; when I got set up I put the repro 0255 plates on. I almost felt 40 years younger and back on patrol looking at that sight...

Pics to follow.

Ripon EV Pics
 

The first one is the real 0255 on Feb 21, 1098 in service. The second pic is 0327 with 0255 repro plates channeling 0255. The third pic is Ed Blancos '93 next to my veh. The last pic is SSP Mustang row at the show. 3 SSPs total.

A little aside: If you look closely draped on the passenger seat back of the real 0255 is a CHP jacket. That same jacket is in place in the same spot on 0327/0255 in the photo of today.

Thanks for the photos!

Thanks for sharing your images and the SSP looks great too!

Congratulations on displaying your SSP at Ripon.

New 870255 Pics
 

Hello everyone, been a while since I have checked in. Today I was going through old boxes of photos and I found 3 pics that I had completely forgot about of 0255. I took these photos in 1984 on duty; there was a Vista Point along Interstate 5 and while working that beat I stopped there and took some photos. It must have been summer because I draped my jacket over the back of the passenger seat when using it; it is not there in these photos. I had completely forgotten about these and today was the first time I have seen them in 40+ years. Although 0255 no longer exists, they are legitimate contributions to the library of SSP photos.
I actually have been working for more than 4 years now on another Mustang, a very early '65 coupe built in April 1964 I have restored from the bare unibody up and should be finished by next Spring. But as it is not an SSP of course doesn't belong here. But a lot of fun nonetheless.

Thank You
