Is someone recreating the Bad Old Days on the quaint, cobblestone streets of DUMBO? We spotted this old NYPD cruiser downstairs from Gothamist HQ this morning, which is a Chrysler commercial (as opposed to one of the many larger productions filming around the neighborhood!). It looks like a pretty accurate representation of the 1972 Plymouth Fury Radio Patrol Car, the last to have the green/black/white color combo. What do you think: real or fake? Here are some of the real cruisers from the 1960s and '70s to compare it to.
