The Denver Police Museum’s Fleet Expands!
The Denver Police Museum would like to thank Marie Dabis of the Denver Police Department and members of Denver City Council who voted to transfer the ownership of this 1978 Nova to the Museum for preservation. This car was listed on the DPD fleet from 1978 through July 2025. This makes this car the longest serving Denver Police car in history. Interestingly, this model did not last very long in the DPD fleet. When they were purchased they were underpowered and not large enough to transport prisoners and allow for officers to get in and out of easily with their equipment.Denver
