Thanks, I appreciate that. The exact paint codes are actually a closely guarded secret. The codes and exact shades of french and electric blue are patented and protected. Its true. I got my shades by maknig friends with the body shop guys at our fleet section and then having exact matches custom mixed. It got a tad tricky back in the late 90's because the chevy version of our colors, like the dark blue, was noticably greener then the ford, while still remaining dark blue.

Does anyone know exactly the date of production of this FCV. 2007 or possible 2008 due to the date the car was issued. Easy to tell its not a 2006 becuase the windsheild wipers arent the long regtaular boxes that were on the 06's |

Its is a 2007 model. Produced in late 2006 and delivered to our fleet section in early 2007 (jan. or feb). For you perspective replica builders, 2007 was the first year that we started using the new style license plates with the blue numbering and the shoulder patch design next to the numbers.

I have a question. Does the METROPOLITAN DISTRICT COMMISSION (MDC) Police still exist? They ran the orange and blue vehicles, then white and blue? I remember them operating in Boston in the early to late 70s. They were a State Police, but not the MSP. Not sure if they were a Park Police. Thanks.
