Its not a real one, unless someone removed the correct 57 plymouth wheel and put on a 59 dodge wheel

I think they only used the Plymouth wheel on the California Highway Patrol cars. It was a CHiPs requirement.
(They also had some other requirements).

But you're right, this is not a real Police car.

Even the special order 1961 Dodge Polara CHP cars got white 1957 Plymouth steering wheels as per CHP's spec.

This is the same car that was up for sale a while ago and he was also selling FL cars. It was originally stated it's not a true police vehicle and Kurt made it.

You should not say that it was for sale a while ago, You should say that it is still for sale.

I put it in the garage and got it running and driving again, and then I dropped the price. I never got any offers back then.

Yes, I installed the period correct equipment. (At least I hope it's period correct).

Have fun with it, but don't pull anybody over.

No. All real Factory built police cars had 57 plymouth wheels.

My Missouri highway patrol super D-500 does.

Did Dodge make any REAL Police cars in a 4 door sedan? I thought all of them were 2 door sedans. ?

I have a 57 Plymouth steering wheel if anyone wants me to put it on there. Or maybe I will just add it to
the list of parts that are in the trunk.

Of course they did. And 2 door hardtops!

See, when I think of the Real Police package, I think of the D500 package, 12" brakes, Plymouth
steering wheel, 55-56 Dodge poverty hubcaps and the rear view mirror hanging from the roof.
I know police departments bought other cars, but not all had the police package on them.
Right?
