  1. The pic of that Aerodynic Fury on the LAPD Facebook group is amazing, reminds me of the single picture of CHP Monacos with Aerodynics I found on ebay some time ago. (from a seller named "vintagecop", he also has some other rare CHP related pics, like one of a Mustang with a MX7000)
  2. I believe this shows another unmarked early 90s LAPD Crown Vic, antenna setup and light setup matches as they didn't add the additional square blue flasher until the 94' Caprice iirc. (full pic in the spoiler) antenna and light setup of a 80s Caprice for comparison, note the long and short antenna that also seem to be present on the Vic: There is also this from a OJ Simpson documentary, a plain one without lights also appears a few seconds later in the video, featuring the antenna setup from above Video with timestamp:
  3. Some unusual stuff I found today that might be helpful in some way: LAFD sedan with a special Aerodynic setup Early 70s LAPD AMC Matador wagon that apparently survived until the mid or late 80s, possibly the same one that appears in another pic parking beside a LTD, note the decal additions
  4. Not too much else, various unmarked LASD vehicles appear in gang documentaries from the 80s and 90s but lack of quality and good shots in general makes a lot of the footage kinda useless, most of them came equipped with red spotlights it seems but I'm unsure about the rear lighting, there is something behind the rear window of the Caprice featured in the second pic, but I can't identify if that's even a light... I don't know how accurate they are but there are some replicas of unmarked LASD Novas around, one was feature in Jay Leno's Garage, would probably still fit for a 80s setting: https://youtu.be/fNMpfFuFwc4?t=596
  5. LASD used a weird red beacon with integrated steady burn and rear flasher, it even appears in a COPS episode. The cars themselves are pretty interesting too:
  6. LAXPD apparently wasn't a thing until 1984, they were named "Airport Security Bureau" before that. This is the only pre 1986 law enforcement looking vehicle operating on LAX I could find, from a blurry pic taken in 1978, seems to be equipped with a Twinsonic: At least I found 2 more pics of late 80s Airport Police vehicles today, second one is from Van Nuys:
  7. amazing work I believe this vehicle also appears in one of the LAPD Life on the Beat episodes: (good side shot at 3:40) check this one out too, some footage of other SWAT vehicles, including a heavily modified white pickup and a few vans: About those pics of 80s slicktop vehicles from earlier: those are really puzzling me, I only heard that they started using them after the 1992 riots to improve public relations, replacing the unmarked vehicles previously used for gang enforcement and other duties.
  8. I just noticed the slicktop LTD in the video, placeholder texture for an unmarked unit?
  9. I'm not sure if you were aware of it already but here is a site with excelent retro LASD pictures, mostly 60s-80s stuff with some 90s sprinkled in but maybe it could help. https://lasdretired.org/photo-album/stations-historical-photos/ https://lasdretired.org/photo-album/172201/ some examples below, note the Gran Fury with unusual lightbar and door mounted speed radar:
  10. some other 80s-90s reference material from LAXPD, LAPP, LASD, etc in case it could help with development https://imgur.com/a/gpuDR0L
  11. Really like what you got so far for this submod! I made a album of 80s-90s LAPD vehicle pics I collected over the years a while ago, perhaps it could be useful for you as it also includes a lot of hard to find stuff like retro k9 units. https://imgur.com/a/nnhZx89
