About Ford Crown Victoria
Ford Crown Victoria, also known as Crown Vic, as a full-size rear-wheel sedan, was produced by the great American multinational automaker Ford Motor Company from 1991 to 2011. The first Crown Vic moniker appeared on a high-line trim level for a full-size LTD sedan, it is designed to replace the Ford LTD Crown Victoria for the 1992 model year though. Built at the Ford Panther platform and shared major powertrain, body and suspension components with the Lincoln Town Car and Mercury Grand Marquis, Ford Crown Victoria had been manufactured through two generations and got replaced by Ford Taurus hereafter.
In March 1991 for the 1992 model year, Ford LTD Crown Victoria dropped the LTD prefix to make the first-generation Ford Crown Victoria (1992-1997). It was offered in base, LX, P71 (standard long-wheelbase, exclusively for law-enforcement) and Touring Sedan (performance-oriented flagship trim level) trim levels. Ford Crown Victoria then was powered by a 4.6 L SOHC Modular V8 engine paired with 4-speed automatic transmissions. The second and final generation Ford Crown Victoria (1998-2012) was released in 1997. New trim LX Sport replaced the LX HPP (Handling and Performance Package) and in North American, it was available in new LX Premium Sport and Handling package. The powertrain was basically carried over from the previous generation and the Ford Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line on September 15, 2011.
