Choose your Ford Fairlane police cruiser today! Front seatbelts are a highly recommended option.

I love how the picture makes the 289 look bigger than the 260 when the only real difference was the bore.   :)

Looks like the 289 has more shiny bits, though.

The officers definitely have one heck of a tan,

I thought the year was off but damn not even the same brand.

This is relevant to my interests. I’d assume the ‘64 full-size Ford was still the best-selling cop car across the country like the ‘63 was, so that they were offering the mid-size in cop trim as well... it’s a little weird. I did not, strictly speaking, know that they’d done that.

It’s not a bad idea for local traffic cop use and pursuit on a budget, though - if the 289 Fairlane is as fast as a 390 Galaxie, why not? And it absolutely is - a 289 Falcon, properly tuned, can keep ahead of about any big-block Galaxie up to 427 in the rain around curves, and a Fairlane is only barely bigger.

At least you could have lapbelts and a pad ded dash. When people ask me about the crash safety in my Bel Air, I have to admit that the best way to survive is not to crash

My mom lost her two front teeth in a collision in 1958. She has fake front teeth to this day.

Makes the perspective of getting hit in the face by an exploding balloo n seem quite comfy

Policeman! Policeman! Help me please. Someone went and stole my knees. I’d chase him down, but I suspect my feet and legs just won’t connect.

Preferably a balloon which has completed its process of exploding, which will catch you rather than strike you!
