Cruisers

A cruiser is a patrol car. In CHiPs different cruisers have been used by the car guys. In the first seasons they patrol on '73 Dodge Polara, '74 Dodge Monaco and '76 Dodge Coronet in the latter seasons they drive '78 Dodge Monacos. In the episode Dead Man's Riddle Jon announces the arrival of the Chevy Camaros to the Department to contrast speeders and he and Bear actually drive one of the non marked '79 Camaro Z28 in this same episode. In Satan's Angels Sgt Getraer has a Plymouth Volare station wagon at his disposal as mobile command post to direct the search and rescue of State Traffic Officer (STO) Clark kidnapped by some bikers. In the 6th season episode Return of the Brat Patrol STO Carter drives an '82 Ford Mustang SSP.

Fun Facts

  • It is well known that CHP officers use low profile (slicktop) units to catch speeders but in CHiPs all the cruisers have a big Twinsonic lightbar on top. Note the steady red in the front and the flashing amber in the back of the red bar. Only the SSP Mustang and the non marked Camaro were slicktop.
