Meh, I haven't cared much for the Crown Vic since the 1992-97 body style (in particular the 95-97s, as the rear tailights were cool, reminded me of a company car my dad had briefly around 1966 or so. Might have been a Dodge Coronet)





OK, the tailights weren't exactly the same, but...

Mid 90s Vics could move. When I lived in So. California, the city police (Gardena) had some 1992s and 1995s (and bought 4 1997s (424-427) just before I left). They apparently had signal preemption, so late at night, they'd be running code 3 north on Western Ave (because the really lowlife section of Gardena was north of Rosecrans), they'd hold the light at Rosecrans (and probably at 139th St), and I would hear them flying. Probably 60 mph. Guess they ran in the left lane so they didn't have to worry about some idiot turning right on red. None of them crashed that I ever heard of at least.
