Florida Highway Patrol's C8 Corvette Cruiser Wins 'Best Looking' Contest


This Black and Tan C8 Corvette Stingray that is now doing duty as a Florida Highway Patrol Cruiser just helped the state of Florida win the “Best Looking Cruiser” competition for the third straight year.

The best-looking police cruiser contest is run by the American Association of State Troopers. Each state submits their entry and then the voting is open to all. With its win, the Florida Highway Patrol becomes the first state to win the Best-Looking Cruiser contest for three straight years.

The photo submission from Florida shows the FHP’s Corvette Cruiser with its emergency lights activated set against the vibrant backdrop of Miami as the sun sets behind the city’s skyline.

“Florida is a state filled with pride and support for our law enforcement officers, and this historic, first ever three-peat is a reflection of that,” said FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner. “This first-ever three-peat is a credit to our team’s creativity, our agency’s mission, and the thousands of Floridians who rallied behind us once again. I’m incredibly proud of our troopers, staff, and the support we’ve received from the public and our partners statewide.”

It also helped that some of Florida’s most popular law enforcement officers (that is a thing here in the state) rallied behind the FHP’s efforts. Here is Polk County sheriff Grady Judd offering his support to the cause:


The calendars will be available for purchase in October at StateTroopers.org, with net proceeds benefiting the AAST Foundation, which provides educational scholarships to dependents of member troopers.

FHP celebrated their win with this Instagram post and they thanked the other State Trooper agencies that made it an exciting contest:

  1. Hey, it’s better than a Mustang or Camaro of the past… You have to wonder what could ever top it’s appeal. Perhaps the American Association of State Troopers needs to make a rule that bans vehicles from competition after a “3 peet”. Note that this car was confiscated in a drug bust, not purchased. It’s primarily used for display at public outreach events and schools, but has also been known to assist with police work. Police don’t make the laws, they enforce them. Outreach helps kids understand that police are not the enemy. Cops have a really tough and dangerous job. They deserve a little morale boost. This creative car generates curiosity, smiles and goodwill.
