A Look Back

So today's photo-4-october word was police. When I saw that I knew I had to dig back into my old photos to come up with this one. The Edmonton Police Service has a small fleet of old vehicles that they once used. This is a 1957 GMC it was used from 1975-1980 and was once use as part of the Bomb Unit

Quite unusual colour for a police car, I think, but nice. Old cars are always interesting.

Wow! When did you take this?

A yellow police vehicle...... It's different! Like the very retro appearance. Do these vehicles actually take to the streets now and then? For nostalgia's sake?

@claireuk I could have given it a bit more of a vintage look but I wanted to show off the odd colour for a police vehicle

@kimshots This was actually quite sometime ago when we were walking around downtown and we came across this sitting near the police station

[bkb in the city]

@scooter It really is a pretty cool looking vehicle

@aglennc A very different colour for sure. They went to white cars with blue and red stripes and now are switching to black and white. They do bring this one out for special occasions
