It used to be so easy to spot cop cars: if I saw a Crown Vic it was either driven by old people or cops, and not a lot in between. So I would always assume it was more likely a cop.
Now? Well at least here in Cali the cops are driving Ford Explorers, which are driven by a LOT of people. So now it's not nearly as easy to spot 'em...

"The Wagon Queen Family Truckster station wagon was created specifically for the film. It is based on a 1979 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon. The car was designed by George Barris, and it lampooned American cars of the late 1970s."
