He did know that they are all pre-1980 though. He said he's been a detective since 1974, and the cars were in use back then, but by about 83, they were all parked, in their storage warehouse, and have not seen the light of day since.
I do know however that they do in fact, still have them, because this was only back in January when I talked with him.

The city of San Francisco also has a 1931 Lincoln convertible that used to be an official car for the Mayor. It was sold of to a collector who restored it but eventually gave it back to the City, which still uses it sometimes in parades.
I have seen it, it's a neat old car
