Car 33 is a 1996 or 1997 Crown Vic. im leaning more towards 1997. Whats the deal with the paint job?

All of those division cars are 1993's and the unmarked is a 1991.

The messenger wagon is early 90s. I would be able to give a better estimate if i could see the dashboard. My guess would be 1993/1994.
When did they switch from wagons to vans?

Book


Fire Chief Cars: 1900-1997 Photo Album [by Donald F. Wood, Paperback]


http://www.pronto.com/compare/fire-chief-cars-1900-1997-10204021464\


Interesting book,  just got it in the mail.  Disappointed though,  only three  FDNY cars.  Lots of Baltimore cars, and west coast departments.


(1)  Chief Croker at the tiller of a 1901 Locomobile.  p. 8

(2)  Mercedes autos were built in the US for a perod of time.  FDNY  bought several for Chief cars in the early 1900's.  P 9

(3)  1946 De Soto  P 53.

Does anybody on here watch the re-runs of "The King Of Queens" ? .........in the opening scene of some of them (more than one opening scene depending on the year) there is a portion that shows an old "Redbird" train running on the elevated portion of the "7" line followed by a shot of Broadway in Elmhurst looking towards the LIRR overpass at Whitney Ave....briefly you see an early ('80s maybe) Suburban w'untinted windows & the 2 individual yellow rear facing lights on the roof.....i am not positive what year the opening scene was filmed in but this MAY be the 46*BN rig if it was filmed very early in the series as there were not any spares/messenger vehicles on the scene for many years after these Suburbans  were introduced......checking the guide on time warner cable shows that some shows including this in the opening were filmed in '06 but i think since the "Redbird" train is visible then the opening was filmed much earlier.... also when the Queens Center Mall is shown it has the original facade........anyone who watches the show regularly will have seen the episode where Richie the Fireman is in the shower supposedly in a Firehouse.... the next scene is the front of ENG*287..LAD*136 & BN*46 s qtrs........also several years ago there was a shortlived comedy on TV called originally "2 Guys,A Girl & a Pizza Place".....the opening scene of this show was of the front of 287/136/46 qtrs also..... taken coming down Seabury St toward Grand Av.
