Yes, definitely the rag-top version with a bigger engine. They may find in testing they can add a low boost turbo, and there you have the sport-police patrol model ! ;-) Didn't we have some paint-concept on the police model?
in its standard format, I can see some police departments using them for officers monitoring parking meters and such ..... I remember the police department in Myrtle Beach using some Studebaker Avanti patrol cars .... I wish I could find a picture
