That's a '74...
raises another question though ... the literature says the formal Chrysler-badged models supposedly reappeard in 1976 only.
guess not .. subject for another thread. THe FORMAL-era Chrysler-badged cop rigs.

It will be as short as the book, Greatest Jewish NFL Pros.
i don't follow that particular stat .. but that might be a bigger number than we think. I mighta compared it to Sumo iceskaters
Anyway, i am gonna research the Chrysler-badged cop formals .. see if there's enough there to be remotely interesting. If not, yeah, it'll quickly get lost in the the "backwoods of Threadville".
1980-1983 Cordoba and Dodge Mirada are "J" body cars.
1979 Cordoba and Magnum are "R" body cars.
1979-1982 Newport/New Yorker/St. Regis are "R" body cars.
Photo #2 shows the poorly formed letter "T" from the word Partial. I'm thinking this is the reason for the top of the T missing from the engine character in line #1 of photo #1.

McCullum? Seriously?
There is an All In the Family episode where Archie explains to Edith how those of the Jewish faith recognize one another by their first name, never their last.

I own a 1969 Chrysler Newport 2dr hard top, all green 383 2bbl 3 on the tree manual transmission. Told it was an ex private Sheriff or Trooper car. It has a spot light towing package and indentation in the front bumper where a push bar was. This car I bought in/and from Illinois. Drove it 500 miles home about 4 years ago.
This thread lost its steam but a member sent me something via PM today that is helpful:

I am gonna declare "victory" here based on a high-level of circumstantial evidence that there were Chrysler-badged Fusie cop cars, likely Newports (but could have been other models).
Hopefully, maybe, there's one or two still out there under a pile of hay/back in the corner of a salvage yard, waiting to resurface

A 1974-77 Newport cop car might be what it takes to force me get some greens out from under my mattress.

Sorry, but no such thing as a 1982 "R" body. You are also missing the 1980-1981 Gran Fury "R" body.
For 1982 the "M" body Gran Fury Salon (USA), Caravelle Salon (Canada), and Diplomat Salon became the main base for the police car fleet and basically replaced the "R" body as Chrysler's full-size entry. All were "L" series. What was the LeBaron in 1981 became the New Yorker in 1982 when the LeBaron became a K car and Fifth Avenue in 1983 ("S" series) with the New Yorker shrinking to the "E" body.
The Newport came back in 1984 on the "M" body for export markets. Series was "H", same as the Diplomat Medallion.

I hear you brother ..
I have been "secretly" (until now
) looking for both a formal and fusie E86 cop car.I have a 1980 M-body Chrysler LeBaron A38 rig (318-4V car, looks like this but NOT this particular one of course) they did 80-81 I think.
I'd "dent" the PD4501 budget though for a Chrysler Fusie or Formal C-body cop rig that I could reasonably get into .. my fear is that it won't be possible tho cuz they may be piles of picked over"iron oxide" with big a** trees through the engine bays by now, or just plain gone/recycled.

I believe this is true... but I have never seen one, nor any lit. Sort of a minor obcession of mine.

And this is why..
Cancelled Revival 1984
The modified Chrysler grille on the Dodge Diplomat
The Newport model name nearly made a comeback in early 1984 as an addition to the M-Body (Dodge Diplomat, Plymouth Gran Fury, Chrysler Fifth Avenue) lines. Orders were taken by Chrysler-Plymouth dealers, but at the last minute, the would-be Newport was marketed as the Dodge Diplomat SE. This model used the same waterfall grille as the Chrysler Fifth Avenue with the exception of a horizontal bar running across the center to mimic the other "crosshair" grilles in the Dodge lineup.

Yes, also true... In the US (and Canada). But the name carried on in service manuals and other "corporate" docs all the way till the end in '89, much like how 440+6's are covered in '72 service manuals. (Yes, I know 4-5 were built) But there is no way that mistake would continue 5 years.
Plus I always see the export reference, and it is true that Dodge models were sometimes re-branded in Europe, like the "Chrysler" Viper.
I therefore believe they exist, but the sales were microscopic-level small. I imagine going to Rome and finding an old US embassy car in il junkyardo.

I'm surprised this hasn't been corrected yet, but 1979 was the last year of the B-body Cordoba/Magnum.
Anyway: something I found here
Ragtop Picture Cars
while looking up other things.
Nope, according to Chrysler Corp. B bodies ended in 78. The 79 Magnum. Cordoba were classified as R bodies by Chrysler.
