1982 Texas DPS test vehicle
DPS Trooper D. Pruett was kind enough to send some of the pictures he took of his in-service Texas cars to us. I'll scan them in and post them up this weekend, but I wanted to post this one up now. It's the 1982 car that he was fortunate enough to T&E back then.

no spotlights and a very small pancake light in the windshield. Hmmm can't see and rear deck lights either.
Cool picture.

Me too. He said that they gave it back to Ford when they were finished.
The light on the dash is a Federal Fireball. I'm supposed to meet up with Tpr Pruett next week....I'll ask him if it had any other equipment in it.

Check out the red stripe on that baby. It really accents the car against the black paint. Great picture of a real piece of Texas DPS history.

Interesting! Looks like a black interior. The 82 CHP car I just purchased has red stripes on the moldings on the front and back. There are no side moldings on the doors.

That's cool! It seems more old in-service photos have been popping up lately for several agencies.
