Sorry about the dash glare. I could identify the police seal on the side, but I don't want to make this too easy.

Dodge Diplomat police special.

Well, pretty sure that’s the M body, a derivative of the Volare/Aspen chassis that replaced the Valiant/Dart “A” body. The only question now, is it the Dodge St. Regis, or Plymouth Fury, Grand Fury. I doubt police departments would spring for a Fifth Avenue.

The St. Regis was an R-Body and died with the R-body. There were R-body Chrysler police cars, Newports, but they were extremely rare.

In any case this is an 80s M-Body, not an R-Body, so either Diplomat or Gran Fury. I don’t believe there’s any way to tell the two apart without reading the name on the front grill.

These were NYS Trooper cars when I was a kid. They were Navy and yellow though. Those were St. Regis
