Why do we have a soft spot for these old full sized, body on frame cop cars? Sure they weren't fast but we like them a whole lot.

I'm most curious about these Diplomats/Gran Furys. I really don't know much about the M-Body Mopars. I've read that this was the de facto king of cop cars in the early 80's. All I know is, lots of agencies used these and they were well recieved.

It would appear the LTD Crown Victoria was the least popular of the box body behemoths. In looking for pictures, I had a difficult time looking for pre-facelift Vics on patrol although the Chicago Police Department seemed to like them. It was far from being the dominant Vic we know and love.

Perhaps my personal favorite. For some reason, I'm attracted to this the most. For me, it looks like the toughest among the trio. It also looks really neat in black and white and NYPD blue! The B-Body was perhaps the only car used by both the LAPD and the NYPD. (Anyone's free to correct me on that)

Among the three, which would you pick? Which would you riddle with bullets? Any stories about these big boxes would be fantastic!
