On a rainy dreary Sunday how about a story of NYC cop cars past

And as we learn from reading our New York Times this morning nobody knows more about the vintage NYC cop cars than Glenn Sokolofsky. Sokolofsky tells some amazing stories of the old NYC police rides. Did you know that early patrol cars were convertibles? Convertibles with no flashing lights or sirens? Convertibles that when it rained still had to get the boss' permission to put the top up. It's a fact, and along with the other nuggets listed in the story make this a good Sunday read.
