Hi not sure what the question originally was, but if HPD stands for Houston
Police, yes, Houston Police used Gremlins as cop cars in 1970-72, but only as
parking detail downtown. Not the regular cop cars they used including Plymouth,
Dodge and AMC. The Gremlins were used for issuing tickets downtown only. Sort of
like the small Cherokees are used now for same. Anyone visiting Houston can look
up the Houston Police Museum off Aldine in NE Houston near Bush. It's where I
got the idea to turn my 71 Matador two door with 14K miles into a Houston police
cruiser, but backed off when it finally sold after 6 years. It's still here and
the fellow is making payments on it, $100 a month. Down to about $1500 or so,
sort of like the Arkansas Lottery, you win $3 million and get $1 a year for 3
million years. :~P))>
