Ford- Crown Vic, Mustang, Expedition, Explorer, Mercury Merauder
Chevy- Impala, Tahoe
Pontiac- GTO
Dodge- Charger
Both of these organizations use both marked and unmarked vehicles. Not to mention they are not just traditional black.

You think that is bad, come on down here to MD where you not only have to worry about the State Police, but the Maryland Transit Authority as well. These guys use anything they can get their hands on. Laundry list for both organizations include,,

Anyways, chargers definately look the meaniest...but i think i like the classic Crown Vic still. But, i DID go and check on pricing on a black HEMI the other day...they only had silver. After reading this i was like welp, if NYSP is goign to get chargers, i should get one!
Actually now, come to think of it...i think i saw a NYSP black charger myself. I saw a black charger with a whole crapload of lights in the front window on I-287 one morning. Guy was stuck in traffic from an accident. A marked cruiser was coming up on the shoulder, and i noticed from my rear view mirror after i passed, that the charger lit up also and followed the marked blue crown vic...i should have realized then!
Great, i gota study up on how chargers tailights look at night, and where/how the reflectors on the back are...so i can notice them easier.

hey trukn1....leds like i have in my truck? Im usually really good at picking out unmarked impalas just by looking at how the tail llights light up, because when they mount the hide-away strobes on the 98-05 impala tail lights....it totally messes up the light. Crown vics are easy as hell because the chrome trim is blacked out in the back. The only civilian version is the LX Sport...which like nobody buys.
one more pointer, if a car is behind you and you cant really see above the rear view mirror on the window to see if a whelen slimlighter/talon or some other LED light, check the cars mirrors on the sides. A LOT of departments are going with the Whelen MirrorBeams, even on their slicktop/unmarked cars.
anyways, trukn1, can you spot out where all the lights are on my truck?

NYPD will NOT be changing to 100% of any vehicle. They specificly said, they want diversity just incase there is a recall or something on one vehicle, that the arent left with all vehicles at the motorpool. The said they will run the ford, chevy and dodge all together.
I sware guys, i think someones following me...GSoup i think you know what im talking about.

Center of dashboard(dead giveaway),, left sun visor near mirror(clip on,,looks like),, outer turn signals (favorite place) ,, inner fogs (next to headlights),,lower inside fogs,,, and let's not forget the 2 little ones you have sitting there behind the grill at the top on either side of the L.
The white faced LED lighting I am referring to is similar to the ones you have in the center of the dash. Check any unmarked car when they pass you and you can normally see, at the very least, their outline pressed against the window. Can normally tell b/c if you know cars, then you will notice that something is out of place.
