Newer generations of drivers may not know the name, but the silhouette of the vehicle has become indelible from the sheer number of images and movies it appears in — as a taxi, a family car, and a patrol car. The Ford Crown Victoria's shape has been seared into the mind's eye of many. From 1991 to 1997, Ford produced the first generation of this large, ultra-reliable sedan for families and fleets. It was built on Ford's Panther platform, a body-on-frame design that debuted in 1979 under the LTD, Marquis, and Continental.
