Chicago police vehicles from the 70s and 80s 

There is something beautiful in old times which is not in modern times!!! it's hard to describe by words.

good footage makes me miss my 74 monaco 400/4 sedan i paid 200$ running in 1988

Can you imagine these old-school cops walking up to check on a suspicious person who turns around with a phone in hand, berating and provoking them, and then threatening them that everyone will see them on social media by the end of the night and they will lose their jobs? I wonder how they would react...

That siren at the beginning was weird

This is good stuff. Great documentary.

4:59 Nice Trans Am

Do you know by any chance where this archival footage is from?

Summer rain storms. Had to park under viaducts cause cars had no A/C and hotter than hell.

What siren was that at the very beginning? was it speed activated? seems the faster the car went the faster the siren wailed?

Wow ! Even back then they were building community trust …. Impressive !
