Saw a newer Caprice in Long Beach.

Post by harrisons13 »

Sorry for no pics but I saw a new Caprice 14+ today in Long Beach headed down PCH that I normally don't see, it was headed toward the Haynes steam plant. It had EXEMPT plates and full wheel covers and tinted windows. No lights hidden behind the grille or windows. Anyone have any idea what city owns it or what it's used for? Driver was wearing a nice shirt and tie. Superviser car? Company car from the city?

I saw a silver one 14+ (had the mylink) in azusa, similar driver and plate , I pulled up to him asked him what agency he was with and he said the district attorneys office (I assume county) I told him take good care of it I am going to get it at the auction!

Hmm. I bet its from there or something like that! As of last year I'd always see a blue 9C3 but I don't see it anymore. Do you know where the attorneys office will auction them?

Ken Porter Auctions seems to be the go to place for cities in LA:

County is a bit harder to nail down. Think they might do their own but cannot find a definitive answer.
