Chicago police are getting new rides from Chicago's Ford plant, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is expected to announce today.



Ford's all-new Police Interceptor began rolling off the line at the Chicago plant last month. The new vehicles will replace the old-school Crown Victoria's, which ended production last year.



The city plans to purchase 500 of the vehicles, which were specifically designed to handle police work, according to Ford. The city plans to spend at least $15 million over five years, according to city officials.
