I haven't seen any mainstream media news about it in the last few months, but it looks like the DPD is going forward with Bladel's plan to switch to black and white squad cars from the all black squads they have been using. The all black cars were chosen by officers for the ability to avoid notice by criminals, but I guess that isn't as important as the "professional look" that the black and whites supposedly provide. I for one have never looked at the black DPD cars and thought, "how unprofessional!"
If you go to the city's site and click the Latest News and then click Purchasing Bids, you see one for 22 police cars. Within that pdf is this requirement:
Color: Exterior Black and White (Option Code SP212 white doors and roof) with Charcoal Gray Interior
Here's a fan website for the Andy Griffith Show that demonstrates the modern and professional look that our Crown Victorias will soon be sporting.
