A into the arms of police officers. Armored car for commuters Sedan unveiled for people fearing random freeway violence Associated Press 66 LOS ANGELES The makers of a new armored sedan for freeway commuters hope their steel-plated car will be No. 1 with a bullet. Customized from used police cars, the four-door Defender boasts a retractable armor screen behind the grille and "run-flat" tires that still function even after taking a machine gun hit. "This is for people who want to get from point A to point without fanfare," said Marcus Hays, who designed the car at Chatsworth's Performance Coachworks.

"It's essentially an armored taxicab." The bulletproof car costs around $33,000 (with cellular telephone and leather steering wheel). It was introduced at this week's Auto Show in a booth adorned with razor wire and graffiti. "This is the only car where people run from me when I operate it," Hays said. Built for people fearing random highway violence, the Defender would not be mistaken for the kind of sleek transportation many Southern Californians favor. Adapted from the -looking 1990 Chevrolet 9C-1 Police Interceptor, it is nonetheless intimidating.

This is the only car where people run from me when I operate it. Marcus Hays "People will yield and wave you through," Hays said. Other automakers might demonstrate safety features with crash dummies. Performance Coachworks has a different approach. "We're going to get four water-filled dummies and then riddle the car with a variety of weaponry," Hays said.

"Then we're going to remove the dummies and see if they spring any leaks." But some Auto Show visitors thought the Defender was a cynical way to make a profit. "You really don't need it if you don't drive in the wrong neighborhoods," said Scott MacKay. "It's a sad testament to our society or else a cheap way to make a buck."
