19. 1980s Dodge Diplomat
Used by: California Highway Patrol
Coolest feature: Reliable, road-worthy engine
Like the Gran Fury, the 1980 Dodge Diplomat were a common sight in the highways of California since the mid-1950s. The bulky but strong body of the car houses one of the most reliable engines in the world, the Chrysler 318. Police work involves a lot of time on the road, and the roadworthiness and utter dependability of the engine is what makes this car work. With its familiar blue-and-white color, the Dodge Diplomat is a workhorse of a police car with really cool but ever-dependable features.
