Golden Valley residents may see a blast from the past in their rearview mirrors this summer.

The Golden Valley Police Department recently retrofitted one if its Dodge Charger squad cars to resemble a 1940s-era patrol car in honor of Golden Valley’s 125th anniversary.

The rooftop alarm bell and old-fashioned police logo-adorned doors may date back 50 or so years. But Police Commander Mike Meehan said the car is completely modernized.
