Last hurrah of the Crown Vic.

I'm a little surprised this particular publication would be so fond of the Vickies.

A good read & can relate to it,since I drive one for back up.(No pun intended)

Makes perfect sense to me. My Marauder was INVISIBLE in NY when I first picked it up back in 08. Crown vic taxis, Lincoln Town car black cars and black and blue undercover vics. Not to mention a small army of grandparents and regular folks in grand marquis.

Every other car was a Ford and they threw it away.

It all started spiralling down the drain with cash for clunkers. Now it's all midsize SUVs with chrome crash bars.

Ford attempted to entice police buyers with a new streamlined Taurus model, but most departments have opted to invest in Dodge Chargers (for the muscle) or Chevy Tahoes (for the space). A redesigned, fuel-efficient Chevy Caprice police car has also gained traction after a fifteen-year absence, though some older cops joke that you can’t fit nearly as many bodies in its trunk.

The CHP out here opted for Ford Edge's.
