BY KEVIN SAWYER – Ford is introducing its new line of police vehicles and they have developed them to be more invisible than any unmarked police vehicle currently on America’s roads. Not only has Ford designed red and blue flashing lights into the from driving sun visors, but their engineers have designed flashing lights to suddenly appear on the rear end of the vehicle.
The new flashers will be located at the top of the rear window in a spoiler type of fashion, basically, unmarked vehicles, which are difficult to see to begin with, will become nearly invisible and will appear as a regular vehicle traveling down the road.
The company made the new designs in a effort to aid the police officers so as their view isn’t obstructed in any way. They will have full visibility and be stealthy as well. The new flashing lights will also be located in the grill of the vehicles as well as on the outside rear view mirrors. Ford had camouflaged them tot he point where they are fairly invisible to the naked eye traveling along at 55 MPH or so.
Ford has dominated the police vehicle market for decades with its signature Crown Victoria. Now, however, Ford has moved on to make their police vehicles from their Taurus’ and from their SUV Explorers.
