Rich,

I can tell you from first-hand experience that the New Jersey state  
troopers used '57 or '58 Chrysler Saratogas. In the summer of 1958, I  
was driving a '54 New Yorker Deluxe on the Jersey turnpike heading  
back to Philly from New York, when I was stopped for speeding. My  
brother was with me. Instead of issuing a citation, the trooper  
decided to wisk me to the nearest magistrate. My brother was left  
behind with my car while I got a 100 mph thrill ride to a local  
hamlet. The judge asked how much cash I had. After I told him,  
strangely enough, the fine turned out to be two dollars less than  
what I had with me. The whole "court" process took less than ten  
minutes. After that, the trooper took me back to my car in another  
100 mph ride.

I don't know if other speeders got the same special treatment. Maybe  
only flaky-looking eighteen-year-olds.

Jack
