DIM: Crown Vic 1st Gen Utah Highway Patrol Livery

Another post in Detroit Iron in Moscow (DIM)... a series of posts where I do a bit of car spotting and photograph "Detroit iron" in Moscow -- i.e. full-size American automobiles that I see on Moscow streets, lanes and especially in back yards whilst not specifically looking for them. 

Today's specimen is a Utah Highway Patrol Crown Victoria 1st Gen 1992-94.

'Utah Highway Patrol"... "State Trooper"... You're a long way from home, buster!



You are serving us now.... and we are servicing you... at a great expense no doubt.


We got you... is that a box of donuts on back seat?


Unfortunately, this time I wasn't able to make more (or better) pictures.

DIM: Chevrolet Caprice Classic

DIM - Detroit Iron in Moscow - today is a Chevrolet Caprice Classic.


Looks like Fourth and last Gen 1991 - 1996.



B body?


It doesn't look like it could drive off this place. 


According to Urban Dictionary, "Detroit Iron" means a big, heavy, bad-handling car made in Detroit. A road locomotive. Me, I like the look (and the idea) of them though.

DIM: Mercury Grand Marquis GS

A new series on my blog -- car spotting -- Detroit Iron (in) Moscow (DIM).

Today's installment -- a Mercury Grand Marquis GS, fourth generation (?). Pretty recent and looks relatively clean.


Detroit iron...  except this one was likely made in Ontario, Canada, wasn't it.


Panther love!
