Vintage Police Car - 1966 Dodge Coronet! RIDE ALONG!

In Episode 66 of ‘Cars, Shops & Collections’ we check out a 1966 Dodge Coronet Deluxe – True Police Car Package. This car is fascinating, but the owner and story behind the car is even better!

Meet Mr. D’Angelo, the proud owner of this classic 1966 Coronet. Mr. D’Angelo boasts an impressive background as a police officer in Pasadena, California, where he served for over three decades (plus nine years in Las Vegas). Officer D’Angelo joined the force in December of 1967 when these very patrol cars were in active service. The Coronet he possesses had a previous life as a Police Patrol Car in Washington State, after acquiring the car Mr. D’Angelo skillfully reconfigured the car to meet the stringent specifications of the Pasadena Police department.

In this episode we get the history behind this patrol car, stories from Mr. D’Angelo’s time on the force AND a test drive with sirens!

Mr. D’Angelo reconfigured the car with custom made light platter and B&M Siren that was used at the time. It was built with a 318 CI, 230 HP engine and 727 Transmission as a full police car package.
