In the (failed) 1986 pilot movie Popeye Doyle (a continuation of the French Connection series and intended to be a TV series), there's plenty of vehicles used.

In the first few minutes, there's a car chase with a either Dodge Diplomat or Plymouth Caravelle (I'm not sure, but it's probably whichever NYPD used then) and a '70s Ford LTD taxi, just to start.

There's plenty more, and yes, there's even a Checker.

I'll post some pictures soon.
