I thought you may want to include photos of my '82 Diplomat, the "Bismarck" in your great site.
My Dad was the original purchaser and gave the car to me 11 years later with only 32K miles on it. It now has about 126K on it. It's a great car despite the characteristic design flaws. I've always felt very safe in this car. |

Clayton Pierce brought these photos of his
car to my attention, and included the following commentary:
This one is a 1987 Dodge Diplomat (even though it says Plymouth on the grille) and also a former Greene County Constable car... and a Greeneville, TN city car before that. Unlike the
Plymouth... this one is fairly low mileage though. Probably got somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 thou. Me and a friend had the bright idea to make a "Mayberry" Police car out of it... basically so we could get away with running police equipment on it. Probably the most attention gathering car I've ever owned... at a recent car show... surrounded by 20k plus dollar Chevelles and Corvettes and Roadrunners people converged around it and videotaped me running the lights and 'blipping' the siren. Current equipment includes Unity S-6 spotlight, Jetsonic lightbar (have blue & red filters but only run it clear on the road), Uniden VHF mobile police radio (I've got 800mhz trunking equipment too... but trying to keep this car sorta period correct), Fed Signal PA300 Siren/PA, Smith &
Wesson lightbar switchbox, wig wag, tail-light flashers, Uniden CB radio, big 8 d cell maglight flashlight with holder clip,
Setina flip down partition (cage), MPH K-55 radar unit, and of course the ubiquitous Smith & Wesson handcuffs clipped on the
spotlight handle. The local law enforcement loves it... I think maybe I can get it in some DARE shows.
