Burlingame Police Department #3 (2011)

This 2011 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was purchased by the City of Burlingame, a suburb outside San Francisco, CA.  This unit, Car 3, was in service as a standard patrol unit until 08/06/2020, when it was removed from service with 126k miles.  The car was stripped of nearly all police equipment and sold at auction several months later.  From there, the long road to restoration began – First, the decision was made to keep the cosmetics all original, with dings, scratches, and faded wheels, exactly as it left service.  Next, the missing police equipment had to be identified, located, and purchased, and reproduction decals made.  Once parts were gathered, Car 3 made a couple trips to a local professional upfitter, and had accurate equipment installed with correct functions and flash patterns.  The car is a near-perfect restoration to its original service specifications (though without internet access) down to the remote gate opener hanging on the visor.

This vehicle is equipped with a Code 3 2100 lightbar, SoundOff Predator2 lights on the GoRhino pushbar, Unity spotlights, Kenwood NX800 radio, Federal Signal Touchmaster TM-4 unitrol, and a Data911 Mobile data Terminal.

Car 3 was recently awarded 2nd place in its class at the Ripon/Menlo Park Police Emergency Vehicle Show, in October 2024!

​This is a privately owned vehicle, currently on loan to the Museum collection.
