Omat opukset ovat ikava kylla muuton takia pakattuina mutta kannattaa hankkia saatavilla olevat poliisiautokirjat vaikkapa Amazonilta. En tieda vuodesta 1956 mutta yleisesti ottaen California Highway Patrolilla oli niin paljon vaikutusvaltaa etta Chrysler teki jopa omia malleja CHP:lle kuten GM:kin Buickin kohdalla erillisista optioista puhumattakaan. Eiko CHP tilannut 1956 seka Dodgeja etta Pontiaceja ja vaikuttui Dodgeista niin paljon etta alkuperaisen 400:n tilatun maara kasvoi myohemmin samana vuonna 200:lla jotka olivat D500:ia alkupaan Polykoneisten sijaan? Muistini on hatara, kannattaa tarkistaa asia. Kenenkaan poliisiautoharrastajan ei kannata jattaytya

:in ulkopuolelle mutta kannattaa olla varovainen kommenteissaan forumilla eika loukkaantua helposti. Suurin osa jasenista on poliiseja ja sarkasmi on valilla huipussaan. Taalla tietoa CHP:n radiolaitteistosta seka halytyslaitteistoista kautta aikain;

Taalla uusi rekisteri entisille CHP-autoille;

Seka CHP foorumi jossa tosin nain vanhoihin asioihin harvemmin saa vastauksia mutta kannattaa katsoa ainakin tama valokuvathreadi jossa myos paljon linkkeja;

CHP56 kilvesta viis mutta onko tuo alkuperainen "Exempt" kilpi viela olemassa? Se on arvokas ja haluttu....

 

Tassa viela pari kiinnostavaa linkkia;

Ja taalla tuo mainittu CHP D500;

"Dodge showed the genius touch of Virgil Exner and Henry King. Maury Baldwin, who was a contemporary of Henry King, and responsible for designing the 1955 Dodge and Plymouth cars, had been reassigned to special projects, including the Fury. Dodge had the Golden Lancer, which was supposed to showcase the D-500 option. It was lost in the shuffle because the D-500 was available on any model Dodge, even the cheapest, so it's late year introduction was overshadowed by the new Plymouth Fury.

The D-500 option consisted of a 315 cubic inch hemi head V-8 with 260 horsepower. It had mandatory options consisting of heavy duty suspension pieces and bigger brakes, wheels, and tires. The recommended transmission was the Powerflite automatic. Just to clarify things, there were two 315 cubic inch engines that year. One was a Polysphere head 315 that put out 230 horsepower with a four barrel carburetor and dual exhausts. This was the engine that won all the land speed records at Bonneville. Dodge broke, reset and made, all tolled, 196 records at the Bonneville salt flats with the 1956 Dodge. This engine went 14 days at 92.86 miles an hour for a distance of 31,224 miles. This engine is not the same block as the famous 318, however.

You have to pay close attention to Chrysler engines. From the point of acquiring Dodge in 1928, Chrysler had a myriad of engines, all nearly alike, except for cubic inch size. It was after the dual introduction of two separate 383 engines in 1959, the Dodge 383, which eventually won over as the better power plant, and the Chrysler 383, both separately produced, that confusion began. 1959 Chrysler owners have to pay close attention to engine parts. The Dodge components, or later corporate components won't fit your Chrysler.

The Poly head 315 engine was also the basis for Dodge's introduction of a Police Package for 1956. It was the first fleet buyers effort for the company, although De Soto and Plymouth had been famous for their fleet cars for years. Dodge aimed its new Police Pursuit package specifically at the State Police and large Sheriff departments. The model was available in 2 or 4 doors. It had heavy duty suspension components that included anti-sway bars at both ends, along with reinforced body joints, braces, and seals. 11 inch De Soto brakes were included, along with a little known brake lining called, "non-organic." We call these metallic brakes today. The recommended transmission was the Powerflite, although a heavy duty Dodge truck clutch and three speed standard transmission could be fitted.

While California is credited for its loyalty to Dodge, it was the Missouri Highway Patrol that started with and remained absolutely loyal to Chrysler cars for patrol duties. In 1956, while California HP was still testing their 1956 Dodge Pursuits, Missouri HP had already put a fleet to work. Missouri had purchased 10 Dodge cars for their first unmarked patrols in 1953. They bought more, due to their excellent speed, handling, and economy of operation, in 1954. In 1955, they also bought some Dodge units for marked patrol. In 1956, 80 per cent of the Missouri HP fleet was Dodge, along with a mixed bid of a few Fords.

No records were kept of the purchase total of the 1956 Dodge Pursuits. Indiana changed their fleet to the 1956 Dodge. California purchased 400 Dodge Pursuits along with 400 Pontiac Chieftains. Like most states, they tried to please everybody. The California experience with the Chieftains was mostly positive. However, the Dodge by comparison simply blew the competition away. When the second buy came along in late spring of 1956, Dodge Pursuits in the California fleet had proven so outstanding that an additional 200 were purchased. They were just like the first 400 with one big exception; they had the 315 CI D-500 Hemi engines in them.

Just a few more words about the Dodge packages; the brake system on Chrysler cars had been the Lockheed hydraulic units which were on the first Chrysler cars built in 1924. In 1956, Chrysler went to an across the board switch to a system of its own design. As usual, it was over engineered.

Each wheel had two brake cylinders. It was also a center plane design that allowed the brake lining backing to twist putting the lining in full contact with the brake drum, effectively increasing the brake sweep and power. When they were right, there was no more powerful brake system. However, they were a mechanic's nightmare due to their complexity in adjustment. Chrysler used a little known lining for its fleet cars. In reality, it was sintered metallic material, just as is used today. However, a little known company became a supplier to Chrysler after it's "Cyclebonded" brake linings not only out stopped, but refused to fade, at a torture test at the Chelsea Proving Ground.

The only problem with the material was that when it was cold, it could be erratic and grabby, causing a regular driver some anxiety, whereas in general your fleet drivers could be easily trained to warm up the brakes in the morning. After that, no special attention would be needed. Trying to educate the general public in use of such a material did not seem feasible to Chrysler at the time.

As an example of how good Chrysler's brakes were, we need to take a look at the California Highway Patrol tests in 1956. The brake tests were to take the car through a maximum acceleration up to 70 miles an hour, then panic punch the brakes, attempting a maximum braking situation. Then without allowing for any cooling, the car would again be max accelerated back to 70. This was repeated 4 times in a row. After the 4th stop, the car was maximum accelerated to 90 miles an hour. Again, the brakes were punched in a panic manner. This was repeated 2 times in a row. Then the car was taken up to wide open throttle, as fast as it could go, and the brakes were slammed on. This exercise was repeated 4 times. The one and only car to pass was the Dodge. Granted the brakes were extremely hot, and had all sorts of funny smells, along with whiffs of smoke coming from them. But they refused to fade. The secret of the sintered metallic linings is that the hotter they got, the better they stopped.


In California, Dodge faced Pontiac, Buick, and Mercury in 1956. Mercury was disqualified because it failed the brake test miserably. Buick too had lousy brakes. Pontiac was a little better, going through the 4 stops from 70, but was not able to hold on at the first try from 90. After Dodge had whipped its competitors with its four high speed panic stops, an instructor took the Dodge on the high speed chase course. In the entire length, there are at least 10 places where maximum effort braking is required, bringing the car down from a high speed, over 80 mph to a much lower speed of around 20 to 30 mph. The instructor ran the Dodge through the course without stopping 10 times in a row. The brakes never offered to fade, pulling the big Dodge down at a measured 25 feet per second, squared. This is the same design found on 300s."

Kannattaa muutenkin tutustua noihin Chrysler300country-sivuihin...

 

mulla on tällänen jemmassa "pahan päivän" varalle

 

No, vasyneena en kiinnittanyt huomiota yksityiskohtiin, kilpihan on liian uusi, sen lisaksi se ei ole CHP-kilpi silla E:n pitaisi olla timantin ymparoima eika octagonin....mutta CA Exempt kilvet ovat aina kerailijoiden suosiossa. Kohtuullisia CHP metalli replikoita saa muistaakseni n $200 pari, alkuperaiset vaikeita loytaa ja hinnat paljon kovempia.

 

Tarkoitatko sitä mustapohjaista joka oli noissa alkupään kuvissa?
En muista menikö auton mukana niistä toinen, niitä oli 2 kpl.
Toinen saattaa olla mulla vielä tallessa, mutta roinaa on niin paljon että en tiedä mistä etsiä. Täytyy funtsia.
