Note that it was a separate option. It wouldn't have necessarily come with a reinforced roof if it was a "regular" HD Y3.Originally posted by relbmar16 View Post

In addition to the no Twin Traction Dan Miller noted, what other option would you have expected this police car to have that it apparently did not? (Or if it had said option, it was not noted on the Build Order.

I am going to guess the hand throttle was to keep the heater working well so your coffee did not get too cold as you sat behind a billboard...waiting... (I have an Uncle who just retired from fifty-one years in law enforcement - he says even people in the profession joke about sitting around in their patrol cars...)

If you were driving a 1959 Lark 6, Jim, and you passed an Indiana State Trooper in one of those 1962 Pursuit Marshals, I think it goes without saying that "...he was driving well below the speed limit!"Originally posted by DieselJim View Post

Not what I was thinking of, Bob, but you're absolutely correct: We would have expected the car to have seat belts.Originally posted by Roscomacaw View Post
There's something else, too, that I'll bet it had but didn't "make" the PO. (It probably had seat belts, too, for that matter.)
