More Gems In Green Township

 Among the more than 100 cars on hand for the Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Show were plenty of automotive gems. Among then was a 1972 Buick Riviera, a 2004 Chevy Monte Carlo, a Plymouth Cyclone CJ 428, a Riviera S Type, a 1955 Dodge Royal Lancer, a Chevy Fleetline, a 1949 Ford Custom, and a first generation Mustang.

Some Different Cars On Display In Green Township

 When you pull in well over 100 cars for a show, the way the Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Show managed to do, you will get some of the usual vehicles but also a few rare and different rides as well. One perfect example is this 1936 Packard with beautiful coachwork by Henney Motor Company. Also on the Diamond Oaks campus lot was a fantastic 1968 Plymouth Volare, a 1966 Pontiac GTO, a Ford Mach 1 Mustang, an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, a 1995 Trans Am, a 1969 Chevy Nova, and a Chevy S10 pick up truck.

More Vettes In Green Township

 The Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Show saw a large collection of Chevy Corvettes attend. If you missed yesterday's post, go back and check it out because there were a bunch of great Vettes from different generations there as well.

Corvettes Rolled Into Green Township

The Green Township Police Citizen's Academy, like most open shows, brought in a large number of Chevy Corvettes. So, today and tomorrow I will be posting shots of some of the Vettes that rolled onto the Diamond Oaks campus that day.

A Show To Help Citizens Learn About Law Enforcement

In 2005 the Green Township Police established what they called the Citizen's Academy which was designed show the township's citizens some of the ins and outs of law enforcement. The 11 week program gives people both classroom and hands-on instruction in a number of law enforcement areas and also includes field trips to area law enforcement facilities.

To help support this effort the township holds the Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Car Show. This year's event was a smashing success with well over 100 vehicles packing the Diamond Oaks educational center parking lot. Among the cars on hand was a brilliant Ferrari 512 BB. The aptly dubbed Berlinetta Boxer replaced the Daytona and became the first Ferrari badged car to sport a mid mounted V-12 engine (yes, the 308 that was originally released as a Dino and later re-branded as a Ferrari had a mid mounted engine but that was only a V-8). 

Also on display was a 1957 Volkswagen Beetle, a 1970 Oldsmobile 442, a Ford Fairlane 500, a slick AMC AMX, a work in progress Chevy Monte Carlo, and a highly customized 1989 Dodge Raider that sports a 5.2 liter engine that literally turned just about every head when it rolled onto the lot.

Bel Airs Rolled Into Green Township

 As could be expected from any show that brought in over 100 fine vehicles, there were plenty of Chevy Bel Airs on hand for the Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Show. And wow, did those mid-fifties gems shine.

The Heat Was On In Green Township

The day of this year's Green Township Police Citizen's Academy Show started out pleasant, with partly cloudy skies and a cool breeze. But that was short lived as the clouds melted away and the heat came out, pushing temperatures into the upper 80s. But that didn't detract well over 100 great automobiles from turning up. Among them was a 1960 Studebaker Hawk, a Dodge Super Bee, a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, a Chevy C10 pick up, a couple late model Jeeps with cool paint jobs and a 1969 Camaro SS 396.
