Tennessee, Florida, Georgia Compete in National Best-Looking Cruiser Contest

The American Association of State Troopers (AAST) is hosting its 12th Annual America’s Best-Looking Cruiser contest, featuring 40 state highway patrol and state police organizations competing for a spot in the 2026 wall calendar and the cover title. The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) is actively campaigning with images of its newest 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 and Ford Mustang cruisers, showcased against Knoxville’s Sunsphere, urging public voting before the July 11 deadline. Florida’s Highway Patrol is aiming for a third consecutive win with its iconic black-and-tan Corvette, while the Georgia State Patrol promotes its sleek cruiser shot at Atlanta’s Jackson Street Bridge. The Florida Highway Patrol also highlighted the return of Mustang GTs in their signature livery, evoking nostalgia for their Special Service Package Mustangs from the 1980s and '90s, hoping to boost their chances in the contest. As of early July, Michigan was leading the votes, with Florida close behind, and the competition remains tight as the deadline approaches. These cruisers not only represent state pride but also support student scholarships through the AAST Foundation.
