- FYI, Albuquerque city police also use 5.0 LX interceptors (white-on-
- white, too) and the New Mexico State Police have a fleet as well.
- I've also seen interceptors in use in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and
- Colorado. 'Tis nothing new.

- Not impressed. The APD have been using unmarked Caprice cruisers,
- lights hidden in the grille, in *civilian* colors (beige, light blue).
- This used to be a nuisance until you realized you could spot them
- quickly by their blue plates (for all official vehicles) ... so the
- city put civilian-color plates on them! Now about the only things that
- can tip you off are the CB antenna and the driver's-side Q-beam spot-
- light.
-
- I've also seen a civilian-camouflaged Mustang interceptor in town --
- baby blue with a white top (looked almost like a softtop), no markings.
- It did have the city's blue plates, however, and all the usual radar
- equipment on the dash. :-)
