Grand Marquis Premium or Ultimate

[Robert 96]

Is there any way to tell from the VIN if a Grand Marquis LS is a Premium model or an Ultimate model? I have been looking at 2004 models give or take and the dealer ads never mention this. There must be some way of telling them apart. Thanks for any help.

Maybe ask RoyLPita to run the VIN for you.

Did one have a longer wheelbase? If not, what did they call the Grand Marquis that had the (6"?) longer wheel base?

Exported overseas.

The Ultimate Edition would not be shown in the VIN or in the OASIS report.

My local Michigan dealer had the extended wheelbase GM's for sale. I think it was in 2004.

That's cool. Most of them go over to the UAE and other areas nearby.
