Great history! But the writer obviously had poor taste/obvious bias! Certainly wasn't ugly, but may be that's especially by today's standards.

the 1/4 mile time beat 383 RRs and SBs if the came with 3,23 rear ends being equally factory stock

Awesome article! However, equally important to CHP was the ability to push a disabled big rig or bus out of traffic lanes (using push bumper). Plus, it could do it over and over, all day long, with a wide open throttle pursuit thrown into the day, too. High speed, torque and durability is the Highway Patrol trifecta!

I have the magazine, will check at lunch.
I also have several other road tests of the 69 CHP Polara from that time.
