You just can't beat a full boxed frame. Kept the cabin from collapsing around the passengers. That's why I own a 05(P71)retired cruiser, it just wont die.😎

Same here man 05 interceptor. I feel bad for the newer piece of tin foil car that’s going to inevitably hit my vic

[@iair-conditiontheoutsideai3076]

You do realize this is not a moderate overlap right?

[@user-km5kj8xh1x]

@Joshua Campodonico I have. 2010 police interceptor , mine runs good but makes a sound at start up, have you ever changed your timing chain

[@VidClips858]

This is why I've driven Crown Victorias for 29 years.

The new Dodge Charger cracked the windshield when hopping a curb. Discontinuing the Panther was a mistake.

[@happilyham6769]

@@moistest_kkritic3L Starting some 40 years ago the Ford Crown Victoria/Interceptor, Mercury Grand Marquis/Marauder, and Lincoln Town Car, were all built on the same platform, in the same factory, essentially the same car. This shared platform was known as The Panther Platform. With so many years in production it had become an immensely reliable, affordable, and trusted workhorse amongst police forces, cab drivers, and the elderly. It was discontinued in 2011 with no replacement.

Ford Tough. I miss the Crown Victoria. They were the ultimate police/taxi car for three decades...

[@paulday6875]

@Jamesh1011 I will never part with mine! Panthers forever!

[@LITTLE1994]

@J I have one, too, though mine is far older than this model. It's an '89 LX. But, I fully agree.

[@pantherplatform]

And they still are in the movies. They're still using them because that's what people expect a cop car or taxi cab to be
