Chicago (bike) cops driving 3-wheeled HDs. Or, for that matter, any model of HD.

Never seen a cop on a three-wheeler, but in Vancouver they still ride Harleys (after a brief flirtation with Kawasaki some twenty years ago). And I saw a cop on a bike here in Palm Springs yesterday, but didn't get close enough to see what kind it was.

Something I haven't seen lately is mid grade or premium fuel for a few cents more than regular. Difference here is now averaging 40 cents per gallon for mid-grade, and 60 cents for premium. You won't see those prices posted on the street side sign either.

In the 1960s even ordinary cars such as Austins had hood ornaments but now it seems to just be top priced cars.
