In 1971, the Alabama Highway Patrol became the first police organization in the United States to use down-sized vehicles for regular highway patrol duties. This pre-dated, among others, the Camaros and Mustangs that were used by other departments years later. The AMC 401 Javelins were the first pony cars used as police cars by any U.S. organization. A total of 132 AMC Javelins were purchased during 1971 and 1972.
