Amen to that!! I read somewhere that the ford model t at one time was the most filmed automobile, but i think the crown vic has far surpassed that record
I love how all the people in the factory are showing so much love for this car. It’s like they told it “you’re the last one buddy, good luck out there”
I'm a chevy guy all the way but god damn this is one sad video. you can see the proud American people making one hell of a car. my hats is off to you guys..
They're actually Canadian, since the St. Thomas Plant where the Crown Vics were built was in Southwold, Ontario. But, still. It is very sad. She was the last classic body-on-frame, rear-wheel drive V8 sedan.
No worries. We're in this together as far as I'm concerned, given how most GM and Ford vehicles sold in Canada and the United States were assembled in one country or the other -- with parts built in both countries -- because of the Auto Pact. I'm not sure if the St. Thomas Plant still exists, but Ford no longer builds anything there at all.
+Mikishots that's a same. very sad. Canada and the us have such a proud, strong , skilled labor base. and 2 great countries that appreciates these types of jobs.
Toast651gaming You do realise the crown vic has a 130mpg limiter and the new patrol cars coming out, like the dodge charge police edition clocks 155 with the 5.7L.. The SUV patrol cars are limited to 130, like the chevy tahoe as thats where the 4 speed tranny cuts out. I know that as my truck is stock from 2005 and it cuts out at 134-136 redlining..
Specifically, its at a ford dealer in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. They have a lot of fords that were "last one built". However the last P71 interceptor is in a museum in kansas.
whats wrong with the crown vic? it was one of the last body on frame sedans. it served our country for a long time in the form of civilian cruisers, taxis, and cop cars. why hate the crown vic so much?
I want me a crown Victoria police version all black with black interior with carpet turn into a High performance car pushing over 325 horsepower with pos traction with High performance parts
God I miss mine. Rarely ever had to take it to the shop and when I did it was a hour or two tops and usually under a hundred bucks. Only time it stayed over was for an engine swap (312k miles). Old girl lived through four snowstorms, drove cross country, countless miles thrown on her, and ultimately gave her life to protect me in a head on collision I walked away from with no more then a headache and a broken heart lol. A legendary vehicle.
@@ohioemeregncyresponsevehic3381 Well they are in America. In the rest of the world Ford cars are still a thing as we dont like the SUV. Tbh I really don't see the point of SUVs nowhere near as good a hatch or a saloon or even an estate car
@@Matt-di6nb I'm not big on SUVs and I certainly don't like tiny European golf carts either. Nowhere near as good as a full size or even an economy car.
Thank you for being painted Yellow and driving people in need to their destinations. Thank you for being painted Black & White and keeping the streets safe Thank you for being painted any color a citizen wanted when they bought you. This is one of the best vehicles in the world, and I can't believe that they discontinued one of their best vehicles. I hope your brother, the Ford Tuarus, can meet the same expectations you did.
@@pewpew-_-2157 Yeah Charger is joke what they look like now. They are not the 2 door muscle cars from the 60s and 70s anymore. A Ford Crown Victoria actually looks like a real car and has guts. I don't even have to buy one for speed, buy one for space, size, safety, and looks
@@WilliamHollinger2019 not only for their services, but don't forget that these cars were extremely reliable as well. Other than the poor gas mileage but you don't buy it for fuel economy. You buy it as an everyday transportation vehicle without whining about gas prices every now and then.
The Ford Crown Victoria's tenure from 1992 to 2011 certainly left an indelible mark on the automotive landscape and popular culture. Its robust design and versatile applications, particularly in law enforcement and as a reliable sedan, made it an enduring presence on the roads. As we reflect on its legacy, we appreciate the memories, the service it provided, and the unique role it played in various industries. The Crown Victoria's 29-year run will undoubtedly be remembered fondly by many. Thank you for your service, Crown Vic.
I just loved to see the NYC taxis before stick to the Crown Vic it actually makes the city's taxicabs unique to other countries. But sadly right now there are different types of taxi models cruising NYC like Priuses, Camries, and even crossovers
Its like when Britian lost Austin and the FX4 black cab went out of production in 1997. The new cabs in London tried to emulate the look and feel but its not the same.
@@rickhunter6513 unfortunately even the taurus has been discontinued. Idk why but chevy and ford are discontinuing most of their sedans like the impala, fusion....
Nexus 104 it is quite sad that companies like Kia/Hyundai are still making sedans and US companies gave up. The Impala and Taurus were good cars, just not for everyday police usage
It's now been 10 years since the last Crown Victoria rolled off the line. Today is September 15, 2021 Gone, but not forgotten! Here's to the greatest car to ever roll off the assembly line!
Thank you so much for posting this video. It is with a heavy heart that I watch this video. I'm 64 years old. I have a 2011 Crown Victoria. Mine is gray, but like the one in this video, I have the same rims and mine is also flex fuel like the one in the video. I hope to be able to keep mine until I die. I wouldn't take anything for it, except, maybe a 2010 Grand Marquis, or maybe a 2011 Town Car. And I would basically be getting what I already have. There is not a car made anywhere else on earth I would rather have than what I already have. Are you listening, or reading this, Ford Motor Company? To the people at Ford Motor Company who may actually see this comment, let me tell you a little story. Okay, my father died this past January, 2016. He was a World war II veteran. I'm a disabled Navy veteran. Anyway, he was, and along with me, members of a nearby Disabled American Veterans. About ten or twelve years ago, we went to a DAV meeting. At the time, Daddy had a 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis. When we got to the meeting, along with our Grand Marquis, we were among 14, or 15, maybe even 16, or more Grand Marquis', Lincoln Town cars, and Crown Victorias . There weren't more than five or six other cars that weren't the three cars I just mentioned. It looked like we were making a TV commercial for Ford Motor Company. To Ford Motor Company, you have no idea just how much you have hurt so many millions of Americans who were loyal customers. I can name almost a dozen men and women who traded there old Chevrolet Caprices, or Cadillac Fleetwoods for Crown Victorias, Grand Marquis', and Town Cars. I know of one woman who recently traded her Grand Marquis for a Fusion. She liked her Grand Marquis better. Her sister has a Crown Victoria, which she traded in an old Caprice for it. In 1987 my parents bought a new Grand Marquis. In 1991, they traded it in on a '91 Grand Marquis. In 1997, they bought a new Grand Marquis; but kept the '91. Mother died in June of 2000. In the summer of 2001, Daddy bought a 2001 Grand Marquis. In around May of 2009, Daddy and I drove down to Panama City, Florida, to the dealership we had been trading with. The car had around 100,000 miles on it. It didn't use any oil. Ran like new. handled like new. Got fairly decent gas mileage. WE DIDN'T GO THERE TO TRADE!!! Some salesman drove up in a 2008 Grand Marquis. We fell in love and traded. They sold that 2001 before we were through filling out the paperwork for the 2008. In may of 2012, we drove back down to the dealership...NOT TO TRADE. The 2008 Grand Marquis then had around 60,000 miles on it. The tires were beginning to get a little slick. It was beginning to take a little longer to stop the car. The tires still had a fairly decent amount of tread on them. WE DIDN'T GO THERE TO TRADE!!! We just went down there to "trade for" new tires. We didn't go there to trade. And some salesman drove up in this 2011 Crown Victoria, like the one in this video. Except it was gray. We fell in love again and traded. I hope to be able to keep this 2011 Crown Victoria until I die. Maybe I can be buried in it.
to be fair i think most of the ones in movies are ones that were in accidents that left them as write offs (bent frame for example) new body panels are installed to make them look not wrecked before crash or at least this is what i tell myself when i see this
Good thing is, we'll always see them in movies as long as there's a steady supply of written-off Crown Vics. We'll always remember them, even if the cops won't use it.
@@owl7339 sorry Carlos....not a chance, that 4.6 interceptor engine was far superior to the 9c1...just straight stock on the Dynotune will show you the specs. End of story..Period!!!!
little fun fact: this LAST crownvic is still in saudi with like a small small amount of kilometers driven on it, and its listed for like 345,000 SAR = approx. 92,000 USD. still got the original signatures of the ford employees.
Same here, when I took an internship with the Texas Department of Public Safety, I went with a ride-along with the State Troopers, some of them are driving the Crown Victoria. For me, the Ford Crown Victoria will always be my #1 favorite sedan from Ford. It’s so sad to see them go.
Probably the most easiest to recognize police car ever made, every angle of the car just looks amazing and simple Every good thing comes to an end at some point
My father started his law enforcement career in a crown Vic and had one up until 2012 when his department switched to dodges. He puchased it from auction and gave it to me as my first car. I still have it to this day.
Producing these cars was like printing money for Ford. Cheap to make, no advertising dollars necessary and a guaranteed, huge, customer base every year.
Ya know here it is 2021 and I'm 30 years old tearing up over the production ending of this car once again. I've seen this video at least 100 times and it hurts. 😢
Around 100k miles many are sent to auction and will be a good car for another 100k. $500 a year for repairs is one monthly car payment for those buying a new car
So pround to see all these canadian bult this iconic cruser for all the continent that cary us where we need and give fear to those who cripple america. Such a great car I still drive one as dealy one bad road of montreal and never give me any issue it so sad they don't bult relable and confy car with a lot of roam this day, RIP dear frend 😢.
Agreed, great cars, big, reliable, decent power and speed, not great on gas, but i like the trade off that they are huge cars that can carry lots of stuff. I use mine for camping and can fit numerous people and all their stuff in the car. They're great
Damn, I've never even owned a Ford Crown Vic (but been in the back of one as a kid), but it still brought tears to me. It's unfortunate to see Ford discontinue the Crown Vic.
West Coast Highways hey look at the bright side, if they continued these would probably end up having ecoboost motors which are shit, so some things should just be kept the way they are
West Coast Highways ford is not in a really good posición right now... I read they're discontinuing most of their line-ups except the mustang and another car I forgot.
West Coast Highways I'm almost 60 and they're going to bury me in my white 2009 Crown Vic interceptor. What a glorious generation to be alive. Built Tough like me body-on-frame able to take a hit. Long live the Crown Vic
Gone, but never to be forgotten, and the plant was hallowed grounds - automotive legends were built there. Still love my 2009 Crown Victoria, still driving it to this day - they REALLY got it perfect the last few years with Flex Fuel and the side impact airbags, but I still love my 1996 Crown Victoria also, from the same plant!
It's been almost 9 years... the last real American car ever made and you are still missed to this day. You've done your job of protecting the public, getting Grandma and Grandpa home from the grocery store and church, and driving people to destinations in New York City. Yesterday, the CHP retired the last of your brothers and sisters. Rest easy Crown Vic. Gone but never forgotten.- A Chevrolet Guy
Ryan M I wood I agree the crown Vic police interceptor could take a beating and shake it off like it was nothing. Especially when it pit maneuvers a bigger vehicle. And used as a rolling barricade to stop a speeding car.
As an Aussie I know how you feel American's, the crown vic's Australian cousin the Ford Falcon was discontinued in 2016 after over 50 years of production in Australia, (such a sad day). It was another 4 door body on frame car, available in sedan, station wagon or as a ute (pickup), V8 or inline 6, ever reliable with some examples doing over 1,000,000kms as Taxis, Police cars and daily drivers. As with the crown vic, these cars may be gone but never will they be forgotten, there will never be another car like them.
Josey Stateson I know but it would have been nice if they redesigned it the last one was not to different than the one from 1995 literally they both have the same dash board
9 years later and this still hits hard. Farewell crown vic. I may have feared you the most but you still have a special place in my heart even if it did include some points on my driving record.
@@jakethesnake4971 Heck yeah!!! I just put a new set of tires on it; ready for another few hundred thousand miles...they are built for commercial use just like a semi that can run for a million miles or more. That's why they became popular as taxi cabs, police cars, and government vehicles.
I don't know the camera operator for the horizontal stuff was pretty shaky and you think the music appropriate? What is sad is that there is no official "Ford" movie/video crew to have done a video befitting the music chosen. Some interviews, a backgrounder/history if the car and finally where this last CV ended up?
The car group I'm with held our last meet up of the year at the empty lot that used to be home to the St Thomas plant. We're a Crown Vic group, so it was pretty cool to have all our cars back where they were built. (Side note, we may or may not have had some fun and put some new tire marks on the parking lot while we were there lol)
This very car is in Saudi Arabia now. It’s famous here. There are a lot of posts of it online. Very proud it ended up in my country. I think Ford produced CVs until 2012 models to some Middle Eastern countries, mainly GCC. What a car! I hate Ford for discontinuing it! My dad had one that ran nearly a million kilometers! The last true American car that was the end of the most epic automotive industry era.
That car is going to be worth more then any other Crown Victorian because it was the last car ever built with signatures of the people that built it. I got teary eyes too Robert Smith lol
Rest In Peace. This car has impacted our lives in so many ways, since the 1960s. It has struck fear into the eyes of lawbreaking citizens, and a sense of safety to abiding ones. While many other young people won't remember this car, I will always remember, and plan on purchasing a retired one. All the best things in life must finally come to an end.
I have owned crowns for the last 25 years and I still have my 2006. This video made me so sad and upset because why stop a great thing that sells. Well RIP Crown Vic you will be missed. Watching this video made me feel like watching a funeral darn it. Peace everyone.
Absolutely unlikely. The modern car world is dominated by SUVs. Y'all have probably heard about the plans to discontinue cars like Impala and Taurus soon. The only American station wagon currently in production is that Buick based on an Opel. Soon we'll have the same about sedans...
BrendanTheGent I just got one too. I thought about selling her for profit since I only paid $2300 with 85k and now I got 98k in just 6 months and I can't part with her. Too much history and it's my 4th Panther. This sad video just made it clear that I will set a goal to put 1,000,000 miles on her starting now.
I've got a 98 Crown Vic. Goddamn thing is a tank and she's still rolling strong. Love my Crown Vic with all my heart haha. This video was something, man...
Lupax Why did they stop producing this awesome icon of a car anyway? And also, is there any chance that Ford will relaunch it like they did with the Explorer? (but not with the you know quality problems and issues)
A moment of silence for all of the Crown Vics that gave their life for the sake of Action movies. :(
Amen to that!! I read somewhere that the ford model t at one time was the most filmed automobile, but i think the crown vic has far surpassed that record
+akwuh Not to mention various Discovery Channel shows. I'm looking at you Mythbusters...
In the 90s they were all Volvos they are safer than some new car's today
They could've used those Ford Taurus as police cars to get destroyed in movies that way we don't feel bad
akwuh q
Who ever has the last Crown Vic, please preserve it.
It went to Saudi Arabia
A prince here in saudi arabia owns in and you'll be happy to hear that it's still parked since 2011.
Doctor Loser ur right!
VolunteerEMS what are you smoking?
I hope they didn't ricer it
Ford: it's time.
Crown vic: was I good?
Ford: No, you were the absolute best.
Farewell, old friend.
Ford: "No, you were the absolute best... that's why you have to die!"
Crown vic: I'll be back.
Ford: Maybee, it wont be the first time, you came back.
Crown vic: guess Its time. See you down the road.

I hope to be able to keep this 2011 Crown Victoria until I die. Maybe I can be buried in it.
Stephen Williams My grandmaw just gave me her 1992 Grand Marquis. It only has 46,000 miles on it.

holy crap, i'm jealous. wanna trade my 2012 Focus for it? lel
Well man im 16,but it also wasnt easy to watch for me.

Why am I getting teary eyed looking at this.......04 p71

I didn’t think I would cry at the last model of a useful and reliable car being assembled to Toy Story music but here I am.
Ford Fiesta will never get a send off like this..
honchoryanc hell yeah
They had a crushing send off.
very bad comparison. the fiesta doesn't have a story.
Imagine the last mustang, if there ever is one. Or the last F-150. That would be emotional
Bruh GEO metro
What's bad Is that people purposely destroy crown vics in movies and tv shows now. It just makes me feel bad every time I see that happen
Just think of all the senseless deaths of perfect Crown Vics because of the worthless shit in the White house
to be fair i think most of the ones in movies are ones that were in accidents that left them as write offs (bent frame for example) new body panels are installed to make them look not wrecked before crash
or at least this is what i tell myself when i see this
Not all the time, I actually have a friend that builds them and he always buys clean title vehicles.
Ford SuperDuty I really wish the owner of this last one takes good care of it, it'll be in a museum someday.
Good thing is, we'll always see them in movies as long as there's a steady supply of written-off Crown Vics.
We'll always remember them, even if the cops won't use it.
Farewell Crown Vic! It will always be the best cop car in the world
The second best the 9c1 caprice is still better
@@owl7339 sorry Carlos....not a chance, that 4.6 interceptor engine was far superior to the 9c1...just straight stock on the Dynotune will show you the specs. End of story..Period!!!!
@@frankformicola5702 The caprice 9c1 beat the Vic in every test they did. Don't believe me, look up the results.
Why do people assume that all Crown Vic are cop cars? They're also taxi and civilian models.
little fun fact: this LAST crownvic is still in saudi with like a small small amount of kilometers driven on it, and its listed for like 345,000 SAR = approx. 92,000 USD. still got the original signatures of the ford employees.
I’m going to miss the Crown Victoria
SovetskySkaiya /Strigon1 me too. :(
Me too in terms of police use.
Me too
Same here, when I took an internship with the Texas Department of Public Safety, I went with a ride-along with the State Troopers, some of them are driving the Crown Victoria. For me, the Ford Crown Victoria will always be my #1 favorite sedan from Ford. It’s so sad to see them go.
The sad thing is it's not discontinued. The sad thing is that these cars didn't receive any updates from 1992 to 2011.
Probably the most easiest to recognize police car ever made, every angle of the car just looks amazing and simple
Every good thing comes to an end at some point
Sadly yes
Hey your the roblox player
My father started his law enforcement career in a crown Vic and had one up until 2012 when his department switched to dodges. He puchased it from auction and gave it to me as my first car. I still have it to this day.
Dalton Smith
You have a great father
R.I.P The amazing crown victoria.
God damn it. This is ridiculous... I had tears in my eyes at the end... The last true classic American car...
it was Canadian made in St.Thomas,ON Canada
cheap labor hahaha why do you think it closed people there for 20 years where making like 40 dollars an hour doing nothing basically
Jonny Bustard exactly! that's the real reason the auto industry sends manufacturing to Mexico. UAW is a joke, they kill themselves with their demands.
Glad i own one and take good care of it!
Well Canamerican
The last time a body will ever meet with a frame....
Wow. I read this just as it said that
In a sedan that is.
Nope, 2021+ Tahoes have body on frame. Not sure about other cars/ SUVs though
@@DontMatter7 No more sedans have separate frames. The Tahoe is an SUV.

Couldn't they do it to no cars? Animistic thinking makes it hard for me to accept these crashes.
Yeah a crown vic and a caprice
RSfandude , EXCEPT for The Dukes of Hazard charger !
Producing these cars was like printing money for Ford. Cheap to make, no advertising dollars necessary and a guaranteed, huge, customer base every year.
but they were awesome dependable - lasted forever!!! I have a friend who LOVES his so much- it has over 400,000 miles on it !
Ford is a asshole for dropping it.
@@rockandroll4689 my 06 has half a million
Don’t know why they discontinued it. Police departments, taxi cabs, and senior citizens bought these in droves!
@@kevinkenny9355 It was a safety issue and the car was just too obsolete.
It's nice to see all the workers getting credit for what they've accomplished.
There is always more than what you think going into something..

That's cold man.

Iron Griffon I was joking. I didn't mean anything by it.
You must be black ahahahahahah
I've been in the back seat many of times its sad to see them stopped being made
Please don’t tell me the back seat of the crown vic you’re sitting in is painted black & white and has an light-bar and siren.
@@MIL-SIM-Shadow-Company-III in Miami Dade we have white and green ones I’ve never been in the back of one luckily
In the back of a civilian model? That's not good if you're talking about a police Vic.
Truly an end of an era
Am I the only one that saluted lol
JKU lab nope 😂
no
JKU lab no, you're not. I mean I physically didn't, but in my mind and heart I did.
are you fucking sad lol
its really sad day!! you will never spot police car at night ever again
I was crying like a baby at a daycare...
Ya know here it is 2021 and I'm 30 years old tearing up over the production ending of this car once again. I've seen this video at least 100 times and it hurts. 😢
Did you tear up over the demise of the Grand Marquis and Mercury?
I have a Merc 07 and a crown Vic 98 P71 what wonderful cars !!!
It's enough to make a grown man cry, and that's ok
Sad day in auto history. The end of a Legend
sure its sad but im sure you will see them for many years to come i work on these cars and they are tanks
At least there's some still being used by police
Probably not too much longer sadly. They are reaching the point in the mileage where police departments have no choice but to retire them :(
Around 100k miles many are sent to auction and will be a good car for another 100k. $500 a year for repairs is one monthly car payment for those buying a new car
Many are being replaced with the Dodge Charger
Only 90 kids knows the feeling to get arrested in one of those cars
abac yolo wow you're actually dumb...
"Chances are if you've ever been arrested or caught a taxi in the 90s you ended up in the back of one of these"
Journey awaits
I remember these in nyc on the streets when I was in elementary school.
42luke roblox oh hi Luke I love your videos
'90s? The Crown Vic been around since the late '70s, dude.
So pround to see all these canadian bult this iconic cruser for all the continent that cary us where we need and give fear to those who cripple america. Such a great car I still drive one as dealy one bad road of montreal and never give me any issue it so sad they don't bult relable and confy car with a lot of roam this day, RIP dear frend 😢.
This right here is the last of this legendary vehicle
I felt like crying...
Bullshit
ummmm...
Me too, when Ford announced they where stop making Crown Victorias I was surprised and sad.
Yeah, amazing cars...
me too!! :(
Damn Ford, why you gotta be cuttin onions up in here ) :
I shall cherish my 2010 crown vic interceptor.
Just bought a p71 (2006) yesterday for my first car, already in love with it, one of the best cars for a civi for many reasons in my opinion
Agreed, great cars, big, reliable, decent power and speed, not great on gas, but i like the trade off that they are huge cars that can carry lots of stuff. I use mine for camping and can fit numerous people and all their stuff in the car. They're great
+Karl Bischoff bought the same car fucking awesome I don't want to ever sell this car they will be bringing the crown Vic back garunteed
mcgee108 really hope so
I agree with you
Real damn shame, the Crown Vic will always be a very iconic piece of beauty.
My Crown Vic is 29 years old, and still drives like it did when it was new. They just don't make them like that anymore.
Never again will I wake up in cuffs and vomit all over myself in the back seat of a Vic. This brought tears to my eyes.
Damn that memories ;).
Damn, I've never even owned a Ford Crown Vic (but been in the back of one as a kid), but it still brought tears to me.
It's unfortunate to see Ford discontinue the Crown Vic.
West Coast Highways hey look at the bright side, if they continued these would probably end up having ecoboost motors which are shit, so some things should just be kept the way they are
West Coast Highways ford is not in a really good posición right now... I read they're discontinuing most of their line-ups except the mustang and another car I forgot.
Marcos Segura GM is doing it too. People just arent buying smaller cars anymore.
It is sad, but they would have either 4 or 6 cylinder eco boost motors which would suck because it’s just like the Chevy caprice, American v8 sedans
West Coast Highways I'm almost 60 and they're going to bury me in my white 2009 Crown Vic interceptor. What a glorious generation to be alive. Built Tough like me body-on-frame able to take a hit. Long live the Crown Vic
Gone, but never to be forgotten, and the plant was hallowed grounds - automotive legends were built there. Still love my 2009 Crown Victoria, still driving it to this day - they REALLY got it perfect the last few years with Flex Fuel and the side impact airbags, but I still love my 1996 Crown Victoria also, from the same plant!
It's been almost 9 years... the last real American car ever made and you are still missed to this day. You've done your job of protecting the public, getting Grandma and Grandpa home from the grocery store and church, and driving people to destinations in New York City. Yesterday, the CHP retired the last of your brothers and sisters. Rest easy Crown Vic. Gone but never forgotten.- A Chevrolet Guy
that was a true tough car....
Ryan M I wood I agree the crown Vic police interceptor could take a beating and shake it off like it was nothing. Especially when it pit maneuvers a bigger vehicle. And used as a rolling barricade to stop a speeding car.
The car looks so sad at 3:10
It's the associated sad music that makes it seem sad.
The Crown vic always had a simple face
R.I.P. Crown Vic
1955-2011
As an Aussie I know how you feel American's, the crown vic's Australian cousin the Ford Falcon was discontinued in 2016 after over 50 years of production in Australia, (such a sad day). It was another 4 door body on frame car, available in sedan, station wagon or as a ute (pickup), V8 or inline 6, ever reliable with some examples doing over 1,000,000kms as Taxis, Police cars and daily drivers. As with the crown vic, these cars may be gone but never will they be forgotten, there will never be another car like them.
But to be fair that car avoided evolution like a southern middle school
Travis Dezellem lol
Travis Dezellem Can't fix something that is not broken.
Good One...
Josey Stateson I know but it would have been nice if they redesigned it the last one was not to different than the one from 1995 literally they both have the same dash board
Travis Dezellem Haha Im southern and think its funny
Last of the real American cars.
Saber Tooth Lawn Tigers its true and sad
Saber Tooth Lawn Tigers there so weird looking tho
Fox Wright yea crown Vic's sucks ass
+Fox Wright hahahahahahahaha love it , I mean purpose built and it doesn't mean anything negativeno a comp I fulfills its duties
Indeed.
Beautiful video of a sad moment. The lovely Crown Vic was truly the greatest car ever made. Thank you people of St. Thomas! I cried... );
I Agree
9 years later and this still hits hard.
Farewell crown vic. I may have feared you the most but you still have a special place in my heart even if it did include some points on my driving record.
Yet Grand Marquis and Mercury? lol
My 2004 Crown Vic still loves to gallop.
Elle T. It will for the next 40 years.
Mine is a 1997 and she is as amazing as ever
Is it still working?
@@jakethesnake4971 Heck yeah!!! I just put a new set of tires on it; ready for another few hundred thousand miles...they are built for commercial use just like a semi that can run for a million miles or more. That's why they became popular as taxi cabs, police cars, and government vehicles.
@@ellet.162 Th
These are the best Ford Cars.
The crown Victoria. I get looked down upon for liking these, but I don't care.
@Кирилл Новиков nope, best Full size Fords are from 1966 where you can get the 7.0 L (427 and 428) to 7.6 L (462) V8s
@@theone5716 all that motor and they only produced 180 hp ..... they didnt build engines right till mid 80s
Seeing this video with that music makes me cry. I hope this Crown Vic got a good home
The best touring sedan / family car ever. Perfect old man ride. Love em
sad...one of the best cars every built
Nope, that title goes to the Toyota Prius. :D
Ghost Assassin lmoa thats a shitty car my family bought one for my grandma its broke so much and its shit
im sure it was a joke, don't worry, it'll be ok, the Prius will go away :D
No Limit Yeah, I was joking. I wish the Prius would go way but it ain't.
Not so long as people are still buying them.
only thing worse than vertical video is a mixture of vertical video and horizontal video
I can think of one thing worse, the person who bitches about it.
I cringe at the younger generation who expect everything to be HD and pretty like a pro production. stop whining like a child a watch the damn video.
I don't know the camera operator for the horizontal stuff was pretty shaky and you think the music appropriate? What is sad is that there is no official "Ford" movie/video crew to have done a video befitting the music chosen. Some interviews, a backgrounder/history if the car and finally where this last CV ended up?
And the overall quality is very low. What a shame.
The struggle of OCD is indeed real.
The car group I'm with held our last meet up of the year at the empty lot that used to be home to the St Thomas plant. We're a Crown Vic group, so it was pretty cool to have all our cars back where they were built.
(Side note, we may or may not have had some fun and put some new tire marks on the parking lot while we were there lol)
This very car is in Saudi Arabia now. It’s famous here. There are a lot of posts of it online. Very proud it ended up in my country. I think Ford produced CVs until 2012 models to some Middle Eastern countries, mainly GCC. What a car! I hate Ford for discontinuing it! My dad had one that ran nearly a million kilometers! The last true American car that was the end of the most epic automotive industry era.
There will be no a most perfect police car than Ford Crown Victoria ;'(
Chevy caprice 9c1
I love the caprice but it honestly doesn't have a chance against the Crown Vic
Roadmaster '93 was a good car but unfortunately for everyone the holden plant is gone forever
ayp193 nope
Random Hoerse nope
I cried a bit.
me too -
VidyaBoutCars same here. I'm about to drive my 11' P7B right now. I love that beast!
This car is a legend for a reason and seeing it go is like seeing a friend leave your life for good. You were a great car and your legacy will live on
This actual made me cry...
Hes gone but never forgotten
That car is going to be worth more then any other Crown Victorian because it was the last car ever built with signatures of the people that built it. I got teary eyes too Robert Smith lol
Rest In Peace. This car has impacted our lives in so many ways, since the 1960s. It has struck fear into the eyes of lawbreaking citizens, and a sense of safety to abiding ones. While many other young people won't remember this car, I will always remember, and plan on purchasing a retired one. All the best things in life must finally come to an end.
"saftey" riiight because police beating people and shooting whoever they want makes me feel sooooo safe
MontyPizzle that's beautiful
Its been around since 1979
Amen.
Well the CVPI won’t just disappear
😭😭😭😫😫😭😭😭 I never ever forget you! R.I.P Crown Victoria, wish god bless you!
This made me tear up haha😢😅 the Crown Victoria is now a collectible. Gone but never forgotten
Everyone else is recording sideways except this guy...
whoodiestyle lol
yeah! that's one of the reason i cried :c
What a travesty. Moreso than losing the Crown Victoria.
my father had one of these. what an automotive legend. it makes me sad seeing this

aww maaan i almost cried here!!! :,( !!!
why do i feel sad, i wasn't even a fan of crown vics before
did you want an import and did you think imports only came from japan?
yeah just imagine a ford focus with only 300 hp
SDRIFTER Abdlmounaim right😂
TheCatLord lol
Why would they stop making such a sexy car?
ITS SO SAD :(
just plane crazy because ford doesn't know any better
Because the car couldn’t meet modern safety standards and regulations anymore
@@LouAntonioGiordano Exactly...sadly.
I had no idea the last Vic was local in st Thomas. New level of appreciation. I have an 86 in mint condition and I love it dearly
I have owned crowns for the last 25 years and I still have my 2006. This video made me so sad and upset because why stop a great thing that sells. Well RIP Crown Vic you will be missed. Watching this video made me feel like watching a funeral darn it. Peace everyone.
God bless the Crown Vic. Hope ford brings one back, in near future.
Absolutely unlikely.
The modern car world is dominated by SUVs.
Y'all have probably heard about the plans to discontinue cars like Impala and Taurus soon.
The only American station wagon currently in production is that Buick based on an Opel.
Soon we'll have the same about sedans...
Personally I think an electric Crown Victoria would be absolutely awesome
Roadmaster '93 The Mitsubishi Eclipse is an SUV now. It's pretty fucking sad. Pretty soon all performance cars will be boring slow SUVs.
The mach one is another sad story
It's unlikely. The future is dumpy crossovers/SUVs that only get 25mpg on a good day.
i own a 2011 crown vic. i love her with everything.
BrendanTheGent I just got one too. I thought about selling her for profit since I only paid $2300 with 85k and now I got 98k in just 6 months and I can't part with her. Too much history and it's my 4th Panther. This sad video just made it clear that I will set a goal to put 1,000,000 miles on her starting now.
BrendanTheGent keep her and pass it throgh out your famly man
Never sell it. The crown Vic is a good car
I've got a 98 Crown Vic. Goddamn thing is a tank and she's still rolling strong. Love my Crown Vic with all my heart haha. This video was something, man...
Cherish her
The Crown Vic is and stay a Legend! We Love you Crown Vic!!!
Lupax Why did they stop producing this awesome icon of a car anyway? And also, is there any chance that Ford will relaunch it like they did with the Explorer? (but not with the you know quality problems and issues)
@@cocotaveras8975 It went down because it was no longer able to keep up with the CAFE demands in 2012, and no, it will never come back, sadly.
