  1. looking good, looking forward to the civilian vehicles it'll definitely bring some more retro atmosphere to the mod. A while ago, I found out that CARE had a website before Falck took them over. Using wayback, I was able to find some older era CARE units from the early to mid 80s. Most have an older logo before the adoption of the logo they carried until the end. (Most of these are cropped in order to make the post smaller as the photos were a part of website banners.) I'm not sure if I ever shared this one, but I figured I'd share it in case I haven't. This one is dated sometime in the 90s.

  2. I used google image search and it appears that this comes from a Japanese book that is a "world police catalog" with the year stated on it being 1978. It also contains pictures of more vehicle, though they aren't from LA, beside a picture of a LASD van. But I did find another website that had an extra page to preview and it contains a few CHP vehicles. https://history.aucfan.com/yahoo/h1026174156/ask/ and https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/o440507340 are where these pictures can be found. It seems to be a e-bay type website so you might even be able to buy it, it seems. Honestly I think it might be a good idea to start using google images more often, I didn't realize till now that this tool is really useful, you can use it to find the original source which can lead to even more finds and if you find nothing from the original source, you can always copy an image of those old cars and paste it into google image search and it gives to similar pictures. Edit: I have continued to search and I noticed that i'm seeing a lot about this Wild Mook thing, looked it up and it's published by a guy named Haruo Mizuno , he loved American cops and managed to get ride alongs with NYPD and the LAPD and has apparently published "about a dozen books on this topic", so that might be something to follow.

  3. Thanks for all the info and the finds. Turns out, this book already helped us before - it's earlier in the thread. Back in 2021, someone was able to provide some pages from that magazine. It is the reason that we have complete LA Airport Police. The name of Haruo Mizuno seemed familiar and it looks like he has helped us already. Rest in Peace to his soul. If only he knew how he has helped us. I was not aware there was even more information on the agencies. It's nice seeing there's some retro SFPD and more LASD in there. Here is the latest batch of civilian vehicles. I am looking forward to getting them ingame.

  4. I definitely agree, it needs to be changed, but i'm not sure how. I like the 'new' one more than the default, though.
