My husband and I saw this cute little NYPD Smart Car while walking around Manhattan. Apparently these two-seat Smart Fortwos have taken the place of three-wheeled scooters that for decades have had their own peculiar place in the city’s vast fleet of otherwise muscular police vehicles. I enjoyed seeing it and wanted to share.
A Glance at the Architecture of Downtown Casablanca
DrFumblefinger explores the architecture in “Downtown Casablanca”. Most were constructed in the period between WWI and WWII, and show art deco and art nouveau features combined with Moroccan/Moorish features.
Neither of those situations is a concern; the Smart Cars are used to get officers to minor incidents including traffic situations and to patrol areas around schools and so forth. There are still larger cars for other purposes, mostly at this point Chevy Impalas. The big Crown Vics are gone.
Think of the movie The Italian Job. Either version…
I am curious where they stow an arrested violent person en route to the police station? And would love to see that Smart Care chase a muscle car in a high speed pursuit.
Still, the image of a Smart Car chasing the Dukes of Hazzard GTO has some appeal.
