Mustangs as Police Cars? The Surprising Highway Patrol Choice #shorts
Were you surprised that the highway patrol audited Mustangs? Cuz you really can’t get the big criminal in that back seat, right? But I think if you look at what’s kind of started it back in the day, V8s were kind of going away. There was a lot going on back then when they were trying to look for a new police car. What were they going to do? What was going to be uh more, you know, appropriate. They started looking at all different cars. They looked at Camaros. They looked at Mustangs. They looked at everything. Um the Mustang was one that they settled in on for a couple different reasons, but they thought that this was the right vehicle. So, I think it makes sense. I mean, there’s not a not a lot of room to put back there, but definitely if you’re going to chase somebody down, you want to do it in this. Are many municipalities ordering the electric? They order the electrics for certain purposes. Uh not necessarily for you know high-speed highway patrol.
Why did Highway Patrol choose Mustangs? They needed something fast, but were Mustangs the *right* choice? Some cities now use electric cars for specific needs, but high-speed chases? “If you’re gonna chase somebody down…” #HighwayPatrol #PoliceVehicles #FordMustang #CarFacts #ElectricCars
