Rod Whitney's MT-19 Police Motor Car

The picture with the police decal and "SIX ADAM ONE" is the new official Willits Police Decal ... it just came out. The SIX ADAM ONE is the call sign for the Chief of Police. There is also a 6A1 on top of the car, the Chief loves it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dashboard gauges are from left to right: Ammeter, Fuel gauge, Tachometer, elapsed engine hours, and a Air/fuel ratio gauge, (The one that looks blacked out).

On the lower right are 5 LED's that blink when lit. They indicate, top to bottom, Bypass on, that is a switch that turns on accessories that normally go off with the ignition switch. The indicator is to remind me that something may be left on. Code 3, to indicate that the light bar is on, don't want to forget and upset someone that has a problem with beacons. Low oil pressure.The oil pressure is low, sort of an idiot light.Turntable alarm, lights up when the audible alarm sounds that the turntable is not all the way up. Brake lights Tells me that the brake lights are on, never can be too careful about too many lights being on.

The two rows of switches on the left, starting with the top left, followed by the top right, then second row left, etc. A center off switch that up turns on the front headlights, down turns on the rear headlight. Next is the bypass switch, then engine lights (Just in case there is a engine problem at night) Dome light, Code 3 lights, takedown lights (Normally shine into the rear window of a car stopped by the police at night) Left alley light, Right alley light, Left wiper, and Right wiper. On the control panel in the normal position for two gauges are, a Voltmeter, and a Oil pressure gauge.

 

This shows the overhead shelf suggested by Ron Zammit. It has on it:
Far left (front of car) The Dome light (In white), next is the AM/FM radio
with tape player. Next is the UHF, 2 meter, 6 meter Ham radio that has been modified to cover the Railroad and NARCOA frequencies, it also covers Police, Fire, CHP, Forestry, Ambulance, and lots more. Behind it is a speaker that can be used to monitor when not in the car with the headsets
on. Next is the siren/ PA system. Last is the intercom.

 

 

 


 

 

The purple car again on the Cal Western run last fall with MOW.
That car matches my Toyota truck.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The picture of me and Rocky (the K-9 UNIT) with my purple car was taken by Jenny Robinson, as we were about to depart Shafter on this year's Nevada Northern PRO run.
