It's been hotter than hell lately, so when not in the pool I have been indoors going through old photo albums and came across some old photos. Including a new, never seen before photo of 870255's interior in service taken Summer 1984. It shows the layout of the emergency equipment well. That's a 26" wooden baton next to the parking brake handle.
Just for fun I have included two more; a 1982 Chevy Impala I drove in late 1984 and my first patrol veh, a 1978 Dodge, the last of the big 440s, I drove in early 1980.
