Does your car still have the bucktags ?
If so, what do they say?

You did see on the 'tech page' that DSO 23 is Memphis, right?

Maybe because there was/is no DSO in Arkansas?

Interesting DSO...unfortunately, with a non-special paint, generic DSO POLICE stamping on your DSO tag, you may have a difficult time identifying the original agency it served with. It's not impossible, but may be a challenge.

Thanks Mike,
At this point i'm most interested in finding out if it's a Tenn on an Arkansas SSP ??? so i can further my search .....
Is there anyone else that can help ????

So does this make my car a little rare or an odd ball????
i noticed in the SSP registry that there are no Tenn or Arkansas cars registered ????


thanks

It wasn't necessarily a state car. Many city and county departments used these as well.

Maybe you could start with a title search in Arkansas?
