I have owned two LAPD Ambassadors (black and whites), which did not
have a
prefix, perhaps only the Eldo? Right now I'm looking at a Cycle Guide
Mag
from '73 showing the Rose Parade Ad. It appears to be an Ambo as there
is |
| | additional reinforcement to the case, or did some of the first Eldo's
have
the same case?. The mufflers are torpedoes, the levers hard to tell,
may |

| | of mine have had black tool boxes.

The VP is used as a prefix on both police and civilian Eldorados (or
is
it Eldoradoes?).
Usually, it is stamped pn both the engines and data plates.

There is, It is "VP" and it is only on the builders plate on the
steering head, not on the engine. The number will look like
this...."VP*061467*".
