The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) is vying for a prestigious position in the American Association of State Troopers’ (AAST) 12th Annual “America’s Best-Looking Cruiser” calendar contest. This year, Tennessee is among 40 states competing for recognition, and public voting is currently underway, set to conclude on Friday, July 11, 2025, at 11 a.m. CDT.
THP’s submission showcases two of its latest fleet additions: a 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and a 2024 Ford Mustang. These vehicles are prominently displayed in front of Knoxville’s iconic Sunsphere, a structure that was originally constructed for the 1982 World’s Fair. The photograph is designed to highlight the agency’s rich history while also emphasizing its contemporary capabilities.
The contest will culminate in the selection of 13 states that garner the highest number of votes, which will be featured in the 2026 AAST “Best-Looking Cruisers” wall calendar. The cruiser that receives the most votes will not only be included but will also grace the cover of the calendar. This calendar will be available for purchase later this year at statetroopers.org, with proceeds directed towards the AAST Foundation’s scholarship fund for students.
