Ford Crown Victoria

The Ford Crown Victoria is a tried and true car model that has been produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1950s. It is the current nameplate for the rear-wheel drive full-size car, and is the latest evolution of the standard (full) sized Ford, starting with the Model T. Although the Crown Victoria is not a widely-advertised model to the general public, it has been a very popular favorite among fleets and police departments. Its twin, the Mercury Grand Marquis, has contrasting popularity, as it is popular among the general public but hardly used by fleets. The Crown Victoria underwent numerous upgrades in the 1992 model year and beyond. This included hydroformed steel for the chassis, inverted monotube shocks, aluminum control arms, and a rack and pinion steering system introduced in the front. The rear suspension was also improved, and the rear shocks were moved to the outside of the frame rails. This renovation significantly improved the road-handling of the car. Additionally, the engine output was enhanced with the introduction of a knock sensor, increasing the timing. Aside from the 2005 model, which featured a rear whip antenna instead of the integrated rear defroster antenna, and the 2006 model which has reversed the antenna, the overall design of the Crown Victoria has remained relatively unchanged since 1979. It still has a body-on-frame design, a live axle on the rear, and a traditional rear wheel drivetrain. This design is popular mainly with its common usage in taxi companies and NYPD fleets, but also among the general public. The Crown Victoria is sometimes mistakenly characterized as "older person's car"; however, nearly all cars in this class are purchased by those who were previously accustomed to driving larger vehicles. The Crown Victoria has excellent durability compared to modern front-wheel drive cars, and it offers more interior space and slightly better fuel economy than comparable SUVs of a similar weight.
