Historic Police Car Spotted Responding to call on the Not-So-Mean Streets of Seattle

An alert REDDIT reader (manuelv 19) spotted the Seattle Police Museum's 1970 Plymouth Satellite patrol car responding to calls on the coffee scented streets of dowtown Seattle earlier this week. According to the Seattle Police Museum website, only 53 Special Order Police Satellites were produced in 1970 and 21 of those were purchased by the Seattle Police Department. The cars were mid-size police vehicles and featured the 383 Super Commando engine package complete with 4 bbl carburetors. They were reputed top be quite fast at the time. This particular vehicle, known as Unit #521, was wrecked with only 9000 miles on the clock and sold at public auction eventually ending up in Los Angeles. The Seattle Police Museum located and purchased the vehicle in 2006 and spent a year returning the car to its former glory. More information on this vehicle is available at the Seattle Police Museum website of by calling (206) 748-9991. http://www.seametropolicemuseum.org/ http://www.seametropolicemuseum.org/docs/Seattle_Police_Car.pdf from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
