If you grew up in Minnesota, those maroon State Patrol cruisers are an iconic image - even if you've never been pulled over by one!  Close your eyes and you can visualize what the "highway patrol" cars look like - right?  Are you sure?

Even though most changes have been subtle, they're noticeable - especially if you followed their evolution through the years.  Well, the Minnesota State Patrol makes it easy to see these changes for yourself online.  Their website includes a link to marooncruisers.com - a site that has a neat gallery of State Patrol cruisers from 1929 to the present.
