YES!  You are right about the Police Gremmies.  Before
anyone starts scouring the yards for special Police
Package HiPO goodies, keep in mind the following. 
THese were the "last gen" (77-8) Grems really stripped
down (though with A/C... c'mon, it's HOUSTON!) to the
basics.  They were used primarily by "Meter Maids" and
other such municiple maintenance and "gofer" type
activities.  They were considered manueverable and
easy to park with good ingress/egress and capacity to
carry equipment in a small package.  They were painted
that sickly HPD blue and white and those 300 lb Meter
Mavens ran them until there was nothing left... so
good luck finding any!  (had a friend that worked
South Houston that said he saw one with 300K on it!)

DO well, 

Jesse
