We had the pleasure of sitting down with a police vehicle enthusiast who was influenced by the likes of The Blues Brothers. Traveling all the way from Germany, Valentin Slaby shared with us how he went about acquiring a retired Mountain View Police Department Chevy Caprice and proceeded to spend a significant amount of time restoring it. His next project? Listen to find out!

I enjoyed listening to the interview of the man from Germany who has restored a ’96 Chevy Caprice former beat car. As a former MVPD agent & the president of San Jose Classic Chevy Club, I look forward to seeing the photos referred to.

Excellent! I will share this with the Chevy club. Most of our cars, which range from 30s to 70s models, have been through a process like this. Thank you for posting this.
