Most marked cars received roof numbers, after 1986 (they started sometime between 1986 and 1987) and the font and size also varied accordingly (various sizes and fonts were used). The FHP used VASCAR to work traffic, and a large part of the program involved the use of aircraft (hence the roof numbers). The unit number, which was also the license tag number, was the number placed on the roof. Roof number measurements for FHP #1187, which are pictured below and are still on the car, are as follows: 2 inches wide (stroke), 15 inches high, 5 inches between the numbers.
