Ford Crown Victoria
Ford’s Panther platform is one of the longest-serving platforms in the car industry. It was first used in 1978 and was used until 2011. It underpinned many models like the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, or Lincoln Town Car. This chassis is sturdy and durable in extreme conditions, as it is the basis of many police cars and taxis (via Wikipedia).
The Crown Vic was the favorite car of American law enforcement agencies from the early 1980s up to recently. When the aging Crown Victoria models were replaced with Taurus or Dodge Chargers. The combination of durability and dependability will live on in people’s memories.
