My thirdgen with a Michigan State police thirdgen

This MSP thirdgen sets in front of the ferensics lab about 15 miles from where I live. It is in great shape. Just had to get a pic of it next to my 86 sport coupe.

Re: My thirdgen with a Michigan State police thirdgen

I do not think they are on duty in Michigan. I think they keep them there for show.

Michigan is proud of their state police vehicles.

I kinda wish Texas was the same.

Re: My thirdgen with a Michigan State police thirdgen

I am pretty sure they are display only. The thirdgen has been seen at car shows in the area. There is also an older caprice and a 5.0 mustang on display.

Re: My thirdgen with a Michigan State police thirdgen

Only one thing missing, the STOP sign on the hood that all other Michigan Police cars have. It would spoil the look anyway. Nice pics

Yes all MSP cars have this light. They also refer to it as a bubble gum machine.

This is on Canal rd near the truck stop on Lansing rd just off 96. If you know where 96 and 69 merge just past Saginaw highway in Delta township going east, Lansing rd is the next exit. Go south, It is at the building right next to the state police road coarse testing area. You can see the coarse to the right while on 96 just before the exit. But last time I was by there the car was not there. It is the only 1 of 2 left. The other was crashed in a high speed chase back in the mid 90's.

Re: My thirdgen with a Michigan State police thirdgen

By the way my car no longer looks like that. It is in the middle of a repaint. It is in primer right now. Going silver pearl. And a totally different look.

It has 1.75" ksport drop springs. No isolater in front. I think I'll pull out the rear isolater and cut 1/2 a coil off the front for a little more drop. Been thinking about doing that for a while.
