NCHP Trading Crown Vics For Impalas

I think I solved my mystery with the highway patrol’s new vehicles. I drove home yesterday behind an unmarked, bronze 2007 Chevrolet Impala, so new it had only been on the road for a month. If it wasn’t for the nondescript, short antenna on the trunk and clear LED panels at the bottom of the rear window (and the uniformed sargeant driving it) I might not have noticed it.

The NC highway patrol has needed a new fleet for a while now as the Ford Crown Victorias are showing their age. I heard back during one of our previous heavy snowstorms that the Crown Vics’ wheelwells aren’t large enough for troopers to use snow chains! I don’t know if that’s true or not but that’s what the media reported. I hope the Impalas are better in this respect.
