I know the turnpike used 1957 Chrysler wagons.  They had the 392 with dual 4 barrels.  My dad told the story about his 50 ford That had a caddy engine in it got spanked by one of them.  (Kid from the neighborhood was a trooper) He remembered the engine setup was identical to the 300c

Mass state police (on Mass turnpike only ) had cross ram station wagons . I could almost swear they were 62 , which was not usually a ram year . 

There was a guy in cobra in Cambridge , first year used to outrun them for fun occasionally when they had 406 Fords. Just for fun . 

So one day there was a picture of a Chysler wagon with the Cobra cut off against a guard rail . Boston had a sensationalist paper then , Record American (?) wrote this up , picture on front . wish I had that picture .  
They stopped me for speeding one day , still remember the headlights bobbing up and down with rough idle . Cop ran to car and took off during stop due to radio call , it made a big chirp on one two shift . 4 of us in car in awe.

For 1961 Chrysler offered a police package on the newly reintroduced Newport called the "Enforcer." It used the Dodge 325 HP 383 and all the police stuff including higher spring rates, anti-sway bars and the like. A wagon version was offered and the whole package lasted through 1964. 61 versions did not wear any "Newport" badging.

 

Massachusetts State Police used Chrysler wagons for at least one year.

Question for the group:

> In 1972, I was hunting for some parts for a white 300K convertible we had at what was then a Mecca salvage yards in those days in Deer Park, Long Island ,NY. I spoke to the owner of one the yards and he spoke almost reverentially of some of the Chryslers that the New Jersey turnpike state police supposedly had as pursuit vehicles at that time in the early’60’s.

Does that ring a bell with anyone or is  that just an “urban legend”?

In a related story, I was told on multiple occassions that the MA State Police used ram-equipped cars as pursuit vehicles around 1964? Not sure they were ram-K's, or just Chryslers equipped with the ram engine option. They could be seen almost exclusively on the relatively new MA Turnpike?
