After attending couple of car meets I thought I'd share this one, because we had not one, not two but three square bodies in one place at same time ;) That's the record I think :)

No, but seriously, there are some regular car meets that happen in Poland, with Warsaw being the capital and largest city and this meet being dedicated to American cars only, all years and makes included it is possibly the highest chance to spot a square body.

For those with a Facepage account there is a snip from a gal standing on a roof/hood of her GMT800 Tahoe: https://www.facebook.com/reel/302510552524570

This time we had a V1500 Suburban (hello :) ) a clean C1500 Burb that a guy uses for camping excursions and a M1008 aka CUCV which I failed to take a photo of, however I have some older photo of his truck from a youngtimer meet

I'm sure there's an interesting story about how that cop car next to the bluesmobile got from Houston, Texas to Poland....

Possibly, didn't have chance to talk to the guy... Or a gal, I don't know! Plates may be just for show, so no guarantee it's actually from TX. But that thig is huge, hard to imagine that back in the day that was a "regular car" size.
There is always like 5 cop cars or so on Amcar Tuesdays, legit ones or lookalikes, making noise when they arrive :) Many times it's a car from auction, our law allow you to keep the lights and equipment if it is registered as a "historic/part of car collection" vehicle (yellow plates).

Yes those big mid 70s Monaco's are bigger than my crew cab! The Houston car looks like a Ford Crown Vic/police interceptor. Fomoco hasn't made these for a few years, but there are still many in service. And used/demobilized cop cars are somewhat common here on the used market. Best case would be to get one from a smaller town or suburbs that hasn't been run to death. If you could find one like that, the decals aren't too difficult to come up with....

Ah yes, didn't notice that you are not talking about the license plate, which is a Blues Brothers plate by the way There was also a charger on RDR838 plates on a meet the Houston car was a CVPI
