Plainville Police Recovery Truck & D.A.R.E. Race Car - By George Brown


Here's another look at George Brown's Plainville Police Department recovery truck and D.A.R.E. race car. The Boley International flat bed tow truck has been marked with homemade police decals for the PPD. Blue strobe lights were added to the light bar and the body was weathered with chalk. Conspicuity striping from Microscale was applied to the sides and rear. The NASCAR race car #313 "The Wagon" is from Motorworks. No modifications were made to this vehicle marked as a Dodge. It was stripped and homemade police markings were complimented with racing sponsor decals from a Johnny Lightning vehicle. The racer was styled similar to #303, the D.A.R.E officer's Ford Crown Vic patrol unit. Also shown in Photo Galleries 225 and 227.
