Remember back five years ago, when the SFPD pined for Chrysler products?
As seen in 2008:

Well, it’s happening, man. It’s finally happening.
Sighted yesterday in Randy Shaw’s corrupt Twitterloin / corrupt Microsoft Yammerloin, here’s my white whale, a Dodge Charger in SFPD livery
Is this a one-off, merely a test? Or is it the start of a flood of SFPD radio cars what aren’t Ford Crown Victorias?
I know not.
Anyway, this is a shock after seeing decades of Crown Vics prowling the 415.
Does anybody know?

Didn’t know Dodge made RVs:

[UPDATE: Or maybe it's a pre-Travco, just a regular old Dodge. See Cooments.]

I don’t know, its seems that the big car companies just love to shoot commercials in and around San Francisco.
As here, maybe.
There’s a Dodge Charger in there, anyway:

Obviously, California will let you put the word “GOD” on your license plate, ’cause, well just look.
One supposes “I Heart You God” was already taken:

Maybe courts are looking at things differently lately?
I know not.
Oh, here’s something:
“The number ’69′ is reserved for 1969 year model vehicles.”
But they don’t talk about other taboo topics.
Oh well.
Merry part.

As a matter of fact, yes, the 14 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV’s) what Chrysler Group LLC is going to give to the City and County of San Francisco tomorrow all have Hemi engines, monstrous V8, 5.7-litre Hemis, to be precise.
But, these big rigs also have an extra battery and electric motor for hybrid functionality PLUS members of the “City Family” will be able to plug in to the power grid to charge up the battery as well.
It’s going to look a little something like this, garish graphics and all:

Now, if City workers are really careful, they’ll probably be able to go 15 miles about town solely on electric power, assuming that the battery is all charged up at the beginning of the day.
But what San Francisco probably really wants is an electric truck without a gas engine at all. Oh well. (It’s the same way with Mayor Ed Lee’s official staff car – why have them put the gas engine in at all if you don’t want it and you aren’t going to use it?)
BTW, Chrysler was a-gonna to build plug-in hybrid pick-em-ups like these in mass production for people living in Flyover Country, but then Big C realized that a project like this would lose money. Big Money. The More You Build, The More You Lose, kind of thing. Well, that idea got the kibosh.
But then the Feds said, well, here’s a few tens of millions of dollars we’ve got sitting around, so why don’t you take that money to build just 140 units instead, and then give these trucks away to America’s mayors?
And, since San Francisco is special, so very special, we’re getting 10% of the national supply.
Hurray?
“Who:
Edwin M. Lee, San Francisco Mayor
Abdullah Bazzi, Senior Manager – Chrysler Advanced Hybrid Vehicle Project, Chrysler Group LLC
Joe Roos, Assistant Vehicle Chief Engineer – Chrysler PHEV, Chrysler Group LLC
Steve Sokolsky, Calstart
Where:
Civic Center Plaza
San Francisco
Details:
Following the press conference, Ram 1500 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles will be available for photo opportunities and a ride-and-drive around a city driving course. Media parking available in parking structure just off the Civic Center plaza.”
UPDATE: Well, it turns out that Sacramento is going to get 14 big rigs as well, so maybe we’re not all that special. In mitigation, Los Angeles and Fun Diego and the rest of SoCal, they’re getting nothing! Zero free trucks from Chrysler and Uncle Sucker. Eat it, L.A!
Ever more deets, after the jump.

Joshua Clements is all over this sitch down in Union Square:
“Homeland Security, A-Team van, SWAT team, mobile command post, Army Hummer, SFPD Bomb Squad, all in front of the Hilton.”
This urban assault vehicle used to be a GMC, or a Chevy or a Ford or a Hummer a Jeep or maybe a Dodge – I’ve narrowed it down that far:
An excellent shot from The Tender, Your Daily Cut of the Loin
Get more shots of this paramilitary fooferall at The Tens.

Well, actually, we don’t get too many 15-passenger van rollover cases litigated in San Francisco County and/or the Bay Area ’cause we don’t have that many 15-passenger vans. That’s not how we roll.
But church groups in the Midwest, they be driving these things all over and they get into lots of rollover accidents. So much so, that the govmint has issued safety guidelines and there are “15-passenger van lawyers” just to handle these kinds of cases.
Anyway, just look at this thing parked near Golden Gate Park. The maker wanted to add a row of seats in the back but did a half-assed job. Instead of making the wheelbase longer, the manufacturer simply tacked on a Sir Mix-a-Lot butt.
See?

There’s your problem right there.
I mean, there could be other issues too, but if you wanted to make a rollover machine, this is how you’d do it.
Just saying.
Stay safe…

As promised, here’s just one of the aging 1957-1959 Dodge Coronets littering the streets of the Western A:

Thank goodness it’s not one of those angry Coronets.
Anyway, we should all look so good when we’re in our fifties…

You’re probably thinking that converting the front doors of your car to Lamborghini style scissors would be pricey, but you’re wrong.
What are you waiting for? Make sure to spring for the automatic option - you’ve got to keep things classy.
A stunning orange Chrysler 300C on 24th Street:
