TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — The Florida Highway Patrol has done it again.

The agency’s black and tan cruiser has once again been named the “best looking” in America for the third consecutive year. This marks a historic achievement as no other state has claimed the title three years in a row.

The 2025 America’s Best Looking Cruiser Contest, organized by the American Association of State Troopers (AAST), saw a record participation of 49 entries from agencies nationwide.

The winning photo from FHP showcased a black and tan Corvette cruiser with a beautiful Miami sunset in the background and the city’s iconic skyline in the distance.

Troopers described the photo as a “tribute to the energy, strength, and beauty of Florida — and a reflection of the pride FHP takes in representing all corners of the state.”

The contest kicked off on June 30 and was followed by two weeks of intense online voting. Officials said the FHP won in “one of the closest finishes in contest history.”

“This first-ever three-peat is a credit to our team’s creativity, our agency’s mission, and the thousands of Floridians who rallied behind us once again,” said FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner.

Florida’s winning photo will be featured on the cover of the 2026 AAST America’s Best Looking Cruiser Calendar. The proceeds will go toward scholarships for the children of state troopers nationwide.

“This win is for everyone that participated — and for the public, who benefit every day from strong partnerships and a shared commitment to public safety,” said FHP Colonel Gary Howze. “Thank you, Florida, for making history with us!”
