It's called "stealth graphics" and is becoming increasingly common in LE vehicles.Oh wow, would you call them stealth marked? Or is that some new kind of low pro reflective marking?
We've got a Tahoe done up in black with the stealth graphics running out of the Mayfield station. Looks real sharp and unless you know what to look for, you don't realize it's an SP unit until he lights up.They are called Ghost Cars, they use black reflective graphics. Those are test cars, so they might not be used in the long run.
It's got the graphics. He pulled me over when I was hauling my fifth wheeler to storage because the fresh water tank was drooling out a bit of water on the road. I had just winterized it and always leave the cap off until spring. No big deal and we had a nice chat. He recognized my truck from several ambulance calls we'd been on together anyway.Does it actually have graphics or is it a CITE car?
Sure they aren't an H car, as I believe they went with and just ordered a lot of Ford Police Interceptors and G has a few with plates.All the new patrol cars I have seen are the new dodge chargers in NYSP Blue. They also were not head quarters cars. Typically H cars are test cars ect
On a side note, various local police officers in agencies that have Dodge patrol vehicles tend to dislike them. Too small on the inside, and extremely cramped in the back seat (not that much sleep is lost over the comfort of prisoners, mind you).

Also on a side note, It's not the Ford Taurus, it's the Ford Police Interceptor and Police Interceptor Utility, Just FYI.
The ghost lettering is to meet the letter of the law that states NYSP cars must be marked if used for any traffic enforcement. George Pataki signed that law the first year he was elected Gov in I believe 1995.
Old information..... Haven't you heard of the CITE cars, they have been plastered all over the news. CITE cars are fully unmarked. Also, why are they forced to stop every car while in a slicktop? Sounds like someone is on a rant and doesn't know what is actually going on out there...The ghost lettering is to meet the letter of the law that states NYSP cars must be marked if used for any traffic enforcement.

I guess the powers to be are looking for any way to increase revenue, and I know from talking to the Troopers in my area they hate the slick tops, it forces them to stop every car that passes them. They are going to like these even less.
Nice looking cars none the less, so much so I bought one in dark blue.
