Default Parachute Co Sheriff's four eye SSP

So I was digging around my photo archives and found an early model SSP used in a department in Colorado:



This is a Parachute (Garfield) County Sheriff's car. Notice the knobby tires for traction! I have no more history than what I know and it's not much but I thought I'd share!

Nice StreetHawk (not)!

Thanks for posting that up....cool pic. Looks like another CSP hand-me-down, minus the interior color (seen the Pikes Peak car in the in-service section?)

My 89 michigan car came with a set of tires like that lol. Not because the MSP used it in winter though. The owner driving it had them on there.

cool picture. I agree probably a CSP hand me down but still a great work ride for someone.

Hey, don't knock the Streethawk. I've used that bar and love it.

(Just not on a Mustang!!)

Nice pic.

What a look with such a HUGE lightbar and such tiny spots!

I'll never get over the ackwardness of SSPs wearing snowshoes.

Nice pic.
So did I...they put one on my '93 when the Jet died, then I had them on everything else until '04, when we went to Whelen Edge bars. They were bright, but fugly.
