The North Carolina Highway Patrol's cruiser recently finished third in the 'America's Best Looking Cruiser Contest!'
The high finish means North Carolina's cruiser is one of 13 that will be featured on the 2019 America's Best Looking Cruiser Calendar. The contest was organized by the American Association of State Troopers and social media users could vote by liking their picture of the car on Facebook.
The NCHP chose Pilot Mountain as the backdrop for the cruiser photo in tribute to late trooper Samuel Bullard, who was stationed in Surry County. Bullard died in a crash in May on I-77.
