Our Toronto police take part in the Santa Claus Parade each year and this old 1955 (I think) police car was part of their presence this time. You sure couldn't miss a car that colour coming towards you unlike the mostly silver grey ones we have today. This was taken a few hours before the parade began and you can see more of the chairs lined up along the curb behind the car.

at least the paint is brand new
Love the vintage police cars Pat, as you say there would be no missing them on the roads..
It's a beauty, Pat !
I remember the yellow!
Nice color.
I don't think I've ever seen a police car painted such a bright color. They were almost always black and white here. I love that light on top too!
Ya... I remember them. They said they were easier to see in the dark.
Nothing like a parade and a parade needs lots of color. Whew! This yellow is, as you say, far from mellow. It's a '55 Chevy. I had one. My third car. It was blue and white, though. Was this the color of police cars in Toronto way back then?
Nothing wrong with Yellow, my van is yellow. Sunshine Bus
That is one brightly colored Police car. I believe it is a 1957 Chevy Bel air. I bet the local Police would love to petrol in this flashy classic.
I didn't know they'd been that colour. Police took part in our Santa Claus parade as well.
...flash from the past.
Love it! An eye catcher for sure!
I don't think I've ever seen a yellow police car. That would be quite a surprise if you were trying to hail a taxi.
It does sort of look like a taxi.
Yes a joke with the wrong cab is easely made here.
What a bright colour for this classic car!
I remember the yellow cars. not this particular year, though ;)
Nice and bright, a classic beauty. Very cool!
That car is in great shape and I love the color!
I thought it was a cab.
Hello, I thought it was a yellow taxi too. It is a classic, very pretty.
Happy Thursday, enjoy your day!
I remember when the police cars were yellow, what a great colour. You could see them coming a mile away!
I love old cars!
Have a wonderful day!
Wow, it sure is in marvelous condition and such a striking yellow!
Definitely not a stealth police car! 1955 is old? Well yup I guess so for a car (and for a person who was already in her teens that year, come to think of it )).
