It is (was) not uncommon for "traffic units" to be two doors. Our
Interstate troopers have been driving Mustangs and Camaros for years now.
City traffic units seldom handle other calls, and then usually only as
back-ups. Likewise, if they encounter a need to transport prisoners, the
prisoners would be transferred in the front seat of the traffic car, or by a
four door patrol unit.
Remember, police cars have not always been equipped with prisoner
containment modules. When I started, we had four door cars, but prisoners
were transported in the front seat. There were no shields, and it was
better to put them beside you than to have them in the back seat, and run
the risk of getting your head kicked off.
The unit in question, if authentic, might be unusual, but certainly not
impossible.

door Police cars.

Our locals use them, basically the rear seat area is a cage with plastic
seats and lined floors. Makes it easy to hose out as most rear seat
"passengers" are either drunk or drugged up.

Yep, I saw it Bill, and I replied that places in the vast Yew Norker
vacation and retirement area outside of Yew Nork Shitty, (sometimes referred
to as the rest of America), may not have done it exactly the same way. <GG>
