This photo shows Patrolman Frank Kaminski and a station wagon cruiser. Station wagons were used as cruisers so that patients could be loaded into the back and rushed to the hospital. This photo was taken in 1963 by Dick Bartlett. The background is the fire station which also served as the police station. The building still stands as part of the expanded fire station.

This cruiser displays the classic "bubble gum machine" light on top. The home in the back sits on the land that the current police station stands.

The evolution of the police cruiser has been advanced by technology. The mechanical improvements in automobiles are well known to most people. Inside the cruisers of the past you would likely find a radio and a first aid kit. Now they are packed with electronics including radar, video cameras, computers and much more.
