[FWDLK] 1960 Ply "Golden Eagle" CHP car?



I met an-otherwize knowledgable FWDLK'er,
who back-yard-mechanic'ed many of our cars in the 50's/60's.
Anyway, he 'swore' that he owned a 1960 PLY
"ex-CHP" (CA Hiway Patrol) pursuiter, for a while, and that that car had
a fender-emblem that 'said': "Golden Eagle".

I asked him if he didn't "mean": Golden Commando, & he said 'no', he
knew about the G.C.'s, & his patrol car had "G.- E."  on its emblem.

So:
1. Did CA (or ANY states?) use 1960 Ply's
for hiway patrol duty.
2. Did Ply 'badge' their cars : " Golden Eagle"?

I think that the cars might have had a "G.-C."
emblem, but I've never heard of  "G.-E" , before.
