The dashboard instrument cluster is unlike the Ford product, consisting of a tachometer, speedometer, fuel gauge, and temperature gauge rather than the Crown Victoria's central speedometer and gauges for fuel, temperature, oil pressure, and volts. Its taillights are similar to those of a 1992-1994 model the chassis, including: windows, headlights (however upside down, similar to a 1992-1997 Mercury Grand Marquis), and front and rear bumpers resemble those of the 1992-1997 models and the grille and hood look like those of 1998 and later models. The Police Cruiser is an amalgamation of various Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, thus probably powered by a tuned V8. The car also comes equipped with a police computer. Like the Police Patrol, the Police Cruiser can be found at almost any LCPD station, and is dressed in LCPD livery (based on that of the NYPD) the Police Cruiser's chassis is the Vapid Stanier, which also forms the base of the NOOSE Cruiser and some Taxis.
The Police Cruiser reappears in Grand Theft Auto V. The Police Cruiser also refers to a Buffalo-based LCPD police car featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony (see #The Ballad of Gay Tony). The Vapid Police Cruiser is one of the two main police cars used by the Liberty City Police Department in Grand Theft Auto IV, the other being the Police Patrol.
