Vehicle Description
Featured in the 1985 "Robocop" movies. The Ford Taurus was thought
to be "The Police Car of the Future!" (Ironically, The Taurus
wasn't shipped to law enforcement officers until 2012) When in fact
the original production design called for a fleet of custom 1969
Chevrolet Camaro's Police cars to be built by Jay Ohrberg Hollywood
Cars of California. All six cars were built with flame-throwing
engines, ultra custom bodies and vicious car smashing front push
bars. Through a lack of communication between production shops for
the cars and the costumers, the cars were built and delivered for
filming in Texas before it was discovered that the robot didn't
actually FIT inside the cars. A handful of Texas Taurus were
purchased on location and covered in spray can flat black paint and
given the decals and the light-racks from the Camaro's. The
legendary Taurus police car was born!Exterior: Black 4 Door Sedan
