- Hey its Zach from 718motorpool and today were pulling out another archive video. In 1996 the NYPD was modernizing with a new white livery, This was one of 3 designs experimented with in 1996 and it was modeled on an Aero Ford Crown Vic. This Mock up failed for the more well known Livery that was on cars from 1997 until 2023. This historical video shows what could have been and could have been lost to history.

i miss those glory days when every car on the street wasn't an ugly SUV or crossover hybrid, whatever you got there
Compared to the horrendous scheme they have now, this one is MUCH better and would've been a better option if they did this today
The last good livery was the grabber blue
@@The718Motorpool agreed. But for the sake of current/cost cutting schemes, this one should've been it. Not the current newest one
You're right about it being horrendous. Considering the capability of vinyl wrap, they could go back to grabber blue scheme or something similar. I think solid white police cars are just too nondescript. It's the NYPD and they should really differentiate themselves.
I liked this early NYPD Version better. Than the “CPR” version
Not a huge fan of this one. There was another version with green lettering that also got vetoed
@@The718Motorpool Green version?
I think they should've, and still should, go with the historical color NYPD trademark blue cars.
historical could also be green and black
I agree completely

Nothing is worse than the new UGLY 2024 livery. Horrible. Leave the iconic white and blue along.
Bring back the blue!
The other fun fact is how they introduced this in 1996, but thats a 93-94 model crown vic.
Because this was an unmarked highway car that got marked up. If you look closely you can see there's a regular smart siren controller instead of a vision controller.
1995-97 facelift and tailgate was different than 1992-94.
@@user-ch2px8sb9g yes... that's what they said
@The718Motorpool ah that also explains the license plates and reg stickers. It was previously unmarked
This was my favorite crown Victoria and why they only made it for a few years I think it handled better than the bigger crown vics it had more speed and way better for fit maneuvers
I dont think that car was ever on the street
I don’t believe it was
I remember when they had Crown Vic’s briefly when I was a kid and then went to the Impala really quick.
They did a split bid ford/chevy from 98-09
new nypd livery is bland feels like it's Albuquerque PD livery
1997MY would marked the beginning of the Ford Crown Vic dominance at the NYPD.
1997MY would mark the CVPI dominance everywhere. Nobody was running out to buy the Chevy lumina.
@@The718Motorpool Also, I'm curious about the photo of another NYPD livery prototype. Where can I find it?
Did you or anyone ever take photographs or video of the other two proposed designs?
I didnt take them as I was 4 in 1996 however I do have photos of the other failed prototype. The other prototype is the livery used from 1997-2023
@@The718Motorpool you have a great channel
They could’ve done navy blue with white stripes......dark blue is usually a color offered by ford like the troopers have.
@@87camro would have looked like Gotham City PD
Look up auxiliary cars
Did he say '97 but then it's a 93 model
Cars a 93 that was mocked up
Can the show the interior of the police cruiser lights and sirens switches?
This video was taken 28 years ago. I have no control over what was filmed. However, if you pause at the right time, you can see the interior clearly showing the smart siren controller
Great video.
Thanks for posting.
