Bill,
Have you got GSP's on the brain today? LOL;)

Haha! Yes, I was surprised to see it listed as BLUE/GRAY as well, since the car was painted BLUE/WHITE.

was it white or was it something like smoke (i think that was the name or something similar in 1989) which is like a light grey that often looks white in pictures?

cool car, by the way!

It is my understanding that the CHP took Ken's car from MT as painted B&W from Ford, and painted the blue over the black. The car was then upfitted to be a SPMV. I cannot explain why it says BLUE/GRAY on the Assignment Card.



I would also like to thank Mick (again!) for bird-dogging pictures from a SSP seller. Here is a 1988 GSA car that we are able to add to the Project thanks to Mick's efforts -

Hey Bill,
Just to add to that, my car never had holes for the whip antenna or the roof antenna. Also, the shotgun/radio mount holes were different from the standard B&W.
Thanks again for adding those to the VIN file.

Thank you, Ken! :)

And more thanks go out to Mick for his persistence in getting pictures from the seller of this car:

Because of Mick's efforts, we were able to add a 3rd 1989 Hall County (unconfirmed) car to the VIN Project -

Interesting...does that Tag have "State" instead of "Police" or the Agency Name? Or am I just overlooking a word after "State"?

FoxChassis 11-17-2014 04:24 PM

Tag says "STATE" and nothing else on the same line, that I can see anyway. KF289900 and KF298907 say the same thing.

The tags for these unconfirmed Hall County cars appear to only say:
DSO-21-0236

STATE

SPECIAL SERVICE

Here is an updated page using a photo posted online of a FHP new unit check list -
