The Ford Crown Victoria was first produced by the Ford Motor Company in the '50s and then again in the 1970s. The Crown Victoria has never been a big seller to the common consumer, but has always been quite popular among fleets, although its twin the Mercury Grand Marquis has always been more popular with the general public.
The Ford Crown Victoria is a full sized car and it's often called the "Crown Vic" and represents the top upper portion of the Ford line up. The Crown Victoria is often seen as taxicabs as well as police vehicles. The Crown Victoria is manufactured in the St. Thomas, Ontario factory on the 1979 Ford Panther platform. The Crown Victoria is powered by a 4.6 liter OHC SEFI V8 engine and prices start around $25,000 and extend to $32,000 or more. While the Crown Victoria is often considered an older person's car, it offers a lot of space and decent gas mileage making it perfect for a person of just about any age. The Ford Crown Victoria has been restyled several times since its beginnings, but it always maintains a simple elegance that makes it well worth its price tag.
