There's nothing old-school at all about this cruiser. As for the single beacon on the roof, it's a Unity RV-45. The Michigan State Police have used this exact beacon since 1979, only theirs have larger sealed-beams. MSP is just now upgrading to LEDs. HOWEVER, they are using this exact beacon body and dome with a huge four-sided LED module instead of the rotating halogens.
I think if you look back at the media reports, its not a codiac car. This car has been used all over the province. I think they have to book it. I know it was in District 11 for about a week this past summer. Then after that it was on the Acadian peninsula.
i wish there would be some of these retro crown vics here but we do have an unmarked charger

@LeighRay I think if a car has a livery that was replaced in 1973 with blue & white, and again in 1993 with white & stripes, I'd call that retro.
