I worked at a Ford dealership in the 90's and we serviced a lot of local law enforcement Crown Vics. Of course, the cops were not even close to gentle with these cars, they were severely thrashed on a daily basis. We marveled at how nearly indestructible these cars were, usually only needing minor repairs and routine service.

This guy is the best old car reviewer ever, I struggle to stay awake watching others review cars

As you know, Ford no longer sedans for the USA, which I think is a mistake as their is still a market for sedans. The Crown Victoria is more reliable then the Ford Explorer that is currently made for police

In law enforcement from 1996 to 2016, I've driven the Caprice, Impala, Lumina, Fusion, Escape, and Explorer. But I would have to say my favorite would have to be Ford's Crown Victoria as my patrolling preference. Although, not perfect by any means I am thankful that most of my car time was assigned to one of these vehicles. Even though its a large car it is very easy to drive, and its limitations are predictable. And you can beat on it without the sense that it would fall apart on you. Love this channel. Keep these great videos coming.

Watching this while sitting in a drivethru when suddenly see a last-gen crown vic going down the road, smoking so bad that it looked like he was doing a 45 mph burnout.

I'm 69 years old. I have a 2011 Crown Victoria. I named "her" "Bessie Velma" after two women I loved who are no longer with us today. Bessie Velma has between 125,000 and 126,000 miles on her odometer. I hope to be buried in her.

I have a few friends of mine who are police officers and each one of them has said that they still prefer the Crown Victoria over the Explorer anyday.

Thanks for highlighting the Panther platform. I've had four Grand Marquis and a Town Car in my lifetime, and my current daily driver is a 07 Marquis which I affectionately call Bernice. I grew up on full frame RWD cars and they are very comfortable. Just don't like driving them on the snow and ice. I'm seeing fewer and fewer of them on the road. Eventually they will be as rare as Hailey's Comet!! :)

A few things I've learned about the crown Vic over the last few years. 1. Some police departments stocked up on cars in 2011 And bought more vehicles than normal, so they would have a fleet full of them for many years to come. 2. I've talked with a few police officers and they still say the Vics were the best cars made for police duty. Being that they were just as roomy as the explorers, but the explorers were much larger. 3. The car community has gone crazy for these things in the last few years even having panther only car meets with hundreds of marauders, grand marquis, town cars and of course plenty of old police interceptors. I was talking to one of those guys that attends those and he said how he was actually pretty mad at how popular they have become, because it drove the prices up. (although this is mostly thanks to Cleetus). 4. They actually share a lot with the F-150 because the Vic is body on frame, it's basically a pickup truck in the shape of a car. I hope to own a town car or marauder someday before the prices get too high. They were truly special vehicles that weren't appreciated until it was too late.

I had a 2000 Grand Marquis. By far the smoothest and most comfortable ride I ever had.

My friend has one.

My local Police Department still had a Crown Vic in their fleet up until pretty recently. I haven't seen it this year though.

Best damn car Ford ever made and will ever make.

Love the banana in the tailpipe scene!!!

I recently got a Mercury Grand Marquis LSE. I love this car, and plan on keeping it as my classic.

That 4.6 2v engine was certainly indestructible. I have one in an 05 explorer. 204k miles and she runs like new. No leaks and doesn’t burn oil. Takes a good deal of abuse from me too pulling 7k lbs or responding to fire/ems calls

1994 - 1996 Chevy Caprice Wagon, 90s/2000s Crown Vic / Grand Marquis / TownCar are some of my favorite automobiles to this day. I passed up the perfect Caprice Wagon in 2014 and still regret it seven years later.

My 1st car was a 1988 Crown Vic I bought it in 1998 it was 10 years old but was in immaculate condition and drove like a dream

Those Panther cars will run forever

I have fond memories of falling asleep in the back of my grandparent's Grand Marquis. That was a great couch-on-wheels.
