lettering on the side with Citizen Restraint 2 Department Of Police.

frame that holds the canvas and seats with chains. .
This piece is so unique due to the fact it has the sleigh base as opposed to
the typical wheel base that are so common.

This piece had some professionally restoration done in the early 1990’s the
seats were re-covered and they added the hand-painted letters as well..
