DR DEALGOOD

<t><br/> <br/> Two police units that come to mind who use the winged wheel as an insignia for their motor officers are the California Highway Patrol and the New Orleans PD's motorpatrol unit. The CHP motor officers have the winged wheel insignia on their helmets, not their shoulders by the way. Both...

MAD MAX movie prop replica "MAX" pins set !!

M.F.P Vocabulary and Slang

I haven't seen Cobra in a long time but I think Stallone's car was a 1950 Mercury. I'd have to see the film again to tell you for sure though.
