4.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad at all!,
This review is from: Ford Police Cars, 1932-1997 (Paperback)
I am a reader that likes technical data, i.e hp ratings, engine sizes, chassis info, etc and this book did not disappoint. Most books of this genre have a lot of older photos but usually lack any data (whether technically correct or not) about the vehicles other than production numbers. The author must have actually done his homework. Nicely done.

Excellent Ford Police Car Reading!,
By John Bujosa (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ford Police Cars, 1932-1997 (Paperback)
Of course, the thrill of having my restored C.H.P. Mustang on the front cover of the Ford Police Car book will bias me a bit...but not much. This is an excellent reference book on Ford Police Cars. Sanow has done a lot of research and can support his information with facts. This book has been a great resource for members of our Association, the Emergency Vehicle Owners & Operators Association, www.evooa.org. Great reading and filled with good photos!
