In addition to the raft of Mustangs (http://autoblog.com/model/mustang) and F-150s (http://autoblog.com/model/f-150) that Ford (http://autoblog.com/make/ford) will be debuting at this year's SEMA (http://autoblog.com/category/sema) show, this special Police Interceptor (http://autoblog.com/tag/ford+police+interceptor) Stealth concept will be on display in Las Vegas this week. Ford designer Melvin Betancourt took inspiration from the SR-71 stealth airplane used in the 1950s and 1960s to create a Taurus (http://autoblog.com/model/taurus)-based Police Interceptor that manages to be flashy yet still able to fly under the radar.
Compared to a standard Police Interceptor sedan, the Stealth concept is lowered by one inch and rides on sinister 22-inch wheels. The rest of the car has been blacked out as much as possible - smoked taillamps, tinted windows and black trim all around the car make for a package that, as Betancourt says, gives the illusion of "there, but not there." Hit the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/11/01/ford-shows-off-police-interceptor-stealth-concept-ahead-of-sema/#continued) to read the full details, and scroll through our high-res image gallery to see the concept for yourself.
