This catalogue entry records a 1973 Dodge Polara American Cop Car in black from the 1970s.

1970s on screen

The clothes around a seventies vehicle can be understated and practical, with character references doing more useful work than a blanket assumption about the decade. Work vehicles can give a seventies street practical activity, provided any visible company lettering has been chosen and cleared for the production rather than assumed. A credible seventies street need not be filled with cars from the same year; an evidence-led mix of ages gives the background a less arranged feel.

Possible roles in a production

Police and emergency appearances should be planned as replica or prop use, with the production agreeing the intended markings before the vehicle is dressed. Uniforms and vehicle dressing should be considered together for prop emergency use, with the production checking that both belong to the incident described in the script. Any implied branding or recognisable fictional design needs discussion for the production, keeping the prop’s appearance separate from unsupported credit or licensing claims.
