About the Book

As every schoolboy of the 1950s knew, British police cars were big, black and shiny, with chrome bumpers and silver bells. That was the way things had always been, but with new, higher-powered cars, motorways and a rapidly growing motor-owning society, things were going to change as the 1960s dawned. The opening of the Preston By-Pass (now part of the M6 motorway) in 1959 was the start of the change, and Lancashire Constabulary were in the vanguard of police car progress. This book, soon to be followed by others on the same subject, joins with the "Trans-Pennine - Nostalgia Road" books on ambulances and fire appliances, which have been well received by readers and reviewers alike.

About the Author :
The late Alan D. Johnson was involved in the process of police mobilisation,and he had planned to write a series of books on his experiences with police vehicle testing and evaluation he gained with the Home Office. His early death in 2003 robbed us of his phenomenal knowledge, but from his notes and records, the present volume has been completed by transport historian Robert W. Berry. The book has been actively supported by several police forces around the country, especially the Lancashire and West Yorkshire forces. As you would expect from a book in the Nostalgia Road series, the author writes from some considerable experience in the subject. Robert is an expert on classic vehicles of all kinds and has an extensive photographic collection, in addition to his own preserved vehicle, a 1957 Ford Consul. He is an Assistant Editor of Vintage Roadscene magazine published by Ian Allan Publishing. He now lives and works in the lovely Eden Valley, mid-way between the Lake District and the North Pennines.
