Thanks for the pic! Lots of service vehicles for this one. I have been getting these in the DOH releases. I like the Chicage police in the pic - something about that particular light bar makes it work for me. I might have to try to pick it up, too.

I feel a whole lot more like I do now, than when I first got here!

I think we need more police cruisers. We have so many Muscle Cars to chase down now and we're getting a late start! The '71 Galaxie 500 is at the top of that list for me. I'd also like to see the '71 Fury I.

This is one of the better picks for the POTW thumbsup.gif !!!!! I really like this casting and I agree with Davidj. That Chicago cop car just looks perfect and has been on my must find list for years. I think it's painted like the cop cars from "The Blues Brothers" movie.

One of the more enduring cars from PM's earlier days.

I particularly like the taxi.

The green Sheriff's car fills me with shame.

Jeff, I liked the Taxi, too.
There aren't many taxis in the whole JL line-up so I thought that it was paramount to add atleast a couple, and this was one of them.

I like the green coloured version plus the white Chicago police version in Wyatt's picture.
There is still some value in the casting if done up in a tasteful manner.

Wyatt, thanks for bringing us this latest edition of the "Picture Of The Week".
Another excellent choice.

Cheers. Cobra

That was a great movie!!!!!!! A lot of very talented actors and actress's in that one. Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Jodie Foster, and Cybill Shepherd just to name a few.
