Between the years 1982 and 1987, there were Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant 4 door police cars across the United States. They were big on the old Oakland Army Base in Oakland, California
and 100s of them were used by the New York City Police Department. Sadly, these cars were virtually annihalated and its is pretty much impossible now to find one. The old army base was abandoned
in 1999 and now the city of Oakland 10 years later is talking about tearing down the abandoned military installation and putting a shopping plaza in its place. The New York City Police Department
restored and kept a sliver few of rare police cars for shows, but it looks like they failed to salvage any K-cars. Also, the most comprehensive website for historical police vehicles totally ignores the K-car
as a law enforcement vehicle and it is only mentioned in one small paragraph. We have ONE member in this entire club who is inactive and never says hi. This guy in Illinois claims to have an original,
authentic military police car. Also, one person on Allpar from Twentynine Palms Marine Base had a Reliant Military Police Car in his possession as recently as 2002. I am going to contact the Chrysler Archives and
if the historian there will give me the courtesy to return my phone call (which he has not been doing), then maybe I can get a breakout of how many K-cars were police cars and how many K-cars were produced
by factory and option type. You can still find antique Diplomat police cars. How sad it is that the K-car police car did not last.
