I could be quite happy with this. My dad had a 59 six.

Rather long, advance as you see fit. But probably more detail about a 59 stripper V8 Bisc as you've ever seen.

That's a real show stopper. OPP ran two door post cars like this when I was a kid, I am sure the RCMP did as well.

Yup, the Morris Manitoba town cop drove that identical (in appearance) car to that one when I was way way smaller...

Zora Duntov and the Chevrolet skunkworks built 40 special 1959 Biscaynes, Police specials... Zora used his as the test mule

348/350 HP law-enforcement pursuit vehicles, featured in Motor Trend (Dec. 58) and Muscle Car Review (Feb 2008)

They were faster than that years best factory Ferrari according to Musclecar Review.. well, Zora's was the test mule and got the special treatment you'd expect the boss and leader of the Chevy racing program to get... it was capable of 135mph

I remember reading about Zora taking one of these around Daytona(I think) and having trouble with sliding across the vinyl bench. He crashed one and had a guy sit beside him to keep him in place after that.
