So let's say you were a police department looking for a patrol car a few decades back and you wanted the car to have a 153 CID 4-cyl. engine under the hood. What would you choose?

Hints--

Your police department is here in the U.S.

You want a GM vehicle

You might consider the optional 194 CID six

OK, so that was my first and probably my last trivia question for this forum. I now can see that lead balloons can't really fly.

I was reading a book about Chevrolet Police Cars by Ed Sanow, which gives a year by year description of police packages offered from 1955 through 1996. In the 1962 section, the author describes the Chevy II patrol car, which came standard with a 153 CID four and had the 194 CID six as an option. There's even a picture of the Chevy II dressed up in patrol uniform, complete with a cherry on top.

I'll shut up now.
