Ford Crown Victoria
The Ford Panther platform is one of the longest-serving platforms in the car industry. First presented in 1978, it served until 2011, underpinning models like the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car. This chassis was sturdy and durable in extreme conditions, so as it was the basis for many police cars and taxis. Even today, seven years after they discontinued it, millions of Panther-based models are still on the roads.
