[Shotimes] cutting vent holes in the header panel

[Donald Mallinson]

I don't believe so, but you can bet that the cars in that 
movie were NOT actual "police package" cars.

There never were hundreds of thousands of Taurus police 
cars, like there have been caprice and Crown Vic cars that 
are worn out and cheap and all over the place.

The Taurus cars in that movie were probably either provided 
by Ford for the publicity, or all well used cars.

The actual "police" model kit has the car with the police 
grill, but I think they do it with decals over the stock grill.

I have two different versions of the "robocop" Taurus model. 
(same model, different box picture) and they don't show the 
police grill.

And about what to call it.  Even by Ron's standards, it is 
no more wrong to call it the police grill than to call it 
the towing package, taxi or heavy duty package grill.

He can call it anything, but the SHO community will forever 
know it, and properly so, as the Police grill.
