Both of those cars are SLOs. I know SLOs came with police options (my
mom got pulled over by one once! I was in back seat) but I've never seen
police Gen II SHOs. I'm not saying they don't exist; I'm just saying
I've never seen one. I'll look for the cooling slot (would the SHO
fascia have it too?). Her car does also have a top-center mounted
antenna of some sort on the back window... or what's left of it, anyway.
The aerial is gone. I've always wondered what it was there for but now
it makes sense that it would've been for a police radio. No evidence of
one having been mounted, though. I figured the key would've been like it
was so cops would only have to have one key to turn all the fleet cars
on (door keys are still unique, though).
