the reason they axed the crown vic was because it was costing them to retool for the vic. i do agree the cops are going to hate the awd taurus. ford should have got the ford falcon from australia and have them retooled for the american market.
Definately one of my favorite cars. It's a pitty that I will never drive one of those, because I'm from Europe. But it definately represents the power, endurance and character of the US car industry. I hope Ford Vic hasn't said "goodbye" but only "till next time" :)
If I were ford, I would change the V8 to include variable valve timing, direct injection, led lights and a cylinder deactivation technology (like dodges). That will raise the horse power to around 330 and increase fuel economy to around 19/24
@suprmanz81 officer friendly will most likely not like the new taurus, they seem to gravitate towards rear wheel drive, that was one of the complaints about impalas...but what other rear wheel drive sedans are left except cadillacs?
The First Mustang Police Interceptor will be for a police department in Fukouka, Japan with the same 6speed precision automatic transmission made by Hitachi.
After all all Ford Mustangs under the JAFTA treaty will be built in Canada and none will be built in the United States of America all of the Mustangs will be built at Ford's St.Thomas Facility with new state of the art equipment and a lean workfoce.
The other Ford Mustangs will be both for Japan and rfor North America and other markets that sell the Mustang. The St.Thomas Assembly Plant will be the only one that built superior quality Ford Mustangs when it comes to the Canadian part of the JAFTA treaty.
Ford Mustangs built for the Highway Patrol well the Police Interceptor Mustangs will be equiped with a precision turbo boost 6 speed automatic transmission from Hitachi that is made in Japan.
In the Canadian part of JAFTA when the Flatrock plant in the US is closed Japanese manufactures begin to export transmission for the Mustang at its new plant in Canada both Shimano for manual transmissions and Hitachi with the latest state of the art 6speed automatic transmissions all coming from Japanese factories to be sent at Ford's St.Thomas facilty to be put in the Mustangs.
The first Ford Mustnag built at the plant where the Crown Vic was built will be purple and for Japan.
Well I do have and idea called JAFTA that is a free trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Japan. The Canadian part of JAFTA will only have a negative effect on the people that works in Flatrock, Michigan when Ford and the government of Japan plans to outsource production of the Ford Mustang to Canada due to the inferior quality of Chinese manual transmission done at the Flatrock plant.
The Crown Victoria is a amazing sedan. Sad that ford shut down that assembly plant. Cops around here hate the new Ford Taurus "Police Interceptor" that has a weaker engine, smaller room, and just not enough horsepower.
Also, the last Crown Victoria (In this video) was sold to a Saudi Arabian buyer, so the Crown Vic is a different version from the American one. I wonder what was the last US crown vic.
Rip Crown Victoria, hats off to you! I hope to have mine for a long time to come! and maybe just maybe by the time mines bit the dust..i can get a brand new one if ford comes to their senses! Dodge Charger may have power..but its a unibody and unable to withstand the test of time, same said for Chevy Impala....The Ford Crown Victoria is America's icon! not to mention used around the world and loved for its plush ride and responsive performance. I hope Ford wakes up after their sales drop off.
With the Crown Vic gone, there's a gaping hole left in Ford's lineup. Ford should bury the slow-selling, POS Taurus and Flex for good, and make a new Crown Vic sedan AND wagon (I'm sure this would sell, especially with ecoboost for mileage) that are RWD with standard 5.0 V8, optional ecoboost. Ford will fall behind if it continues to bank on just trucks and shitbox "world" cars. They can't expect Americans to squeeze into little Fiestas.
@mercedesfan650 trust me, when gas is $8/gal because some turd wearing a diaper on his head decides to shut off the spigot, or states and dealerships are forced to charge people more and higher penalties and taxes for vehicles over a certain wheelbase or engine displacement, Americans will find a way to "squeeze into little Fiestas".
That will go for trucks and SUVs too. The American auto industry has been insanely wasteful since the 50s. Those days have to come to an end.
My petition is trying to keep these cars made ipetitions(dot)com/stap2012plus
THUMBS UP SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN SEE IT!
These cars are much better than any other car, and when running on CNG better for the environment than a Prius or Volt will ever be!
Heck, even the E85 is great! "Customers are looking for more fuel efficient options" -BS. CNG costs as low as 78 cents per gallon in places like Oklahoma. You can even get it filled up right at your home.
Echt zu schade das der Tag kommen musste an dem die Produktion eingestellt wurde.
Sehr viele Menschen werden ihn vermissen,denn er ist mehr als nur ein Auto.
Doch in unseren Herzen wird er weiter fahren,und vielleicht wird er eines Tages von Ford wieder zum Leben gerufen,auch wenn er sich die Ruhe und den Frieden nach den ganzen Jahren wirklich verdient hat.
My greatest wish for 2012 a weaker Canadian economy and a weaker Canadian dollar only for the best for the folks at STAP when the Mazda 6 shifts production to Japan for North America then the hope for the worse Canadian economoy in history will bring hope to manufacture the Mustang in Canada just to give you guys that sometimes is better to hope for the worse just for things to get better !
Well its sad but its true the only thing I could wish for is the worse for the Canadian economy this year to hope for the best for STAP all I want to see is that the St.Thomas plant becomes the St.Thomas Flex plant to make three cars one is the LTD the other is the Town Car and the other one is the Mustang. Why because I want the worse for the Canadian economy to hope for the best that is why I wish to see a weaker Canadian dollar just to see a Mustang built at the St.Thomas Facility !
Damn seeing this video has made 2011 sucks, I wish for the best of what I hope Ford should do ! But if you want to see a cool car its time to watch the movie Taxi and you'll see the coolest car you'll ever seen.
The car in the movie Taxi rocks !
That car in the Taxi movie is awsome !
I will never forget my favorate coolest car in the movies and that is in the movie Taxi.
The people of St.Thomas are fed up with this crap now no more tears the Crown Vic maybe gone but its time to convince Ford to reopen the plant bring back the LTD nameplate make the first one black and let the Taurus eat some dust !
@Embargoman are you also wishing you could drive home from your job and call your friend on your landline to tell him about the VHS tape you rented to watch on your 19" B&W tube-laden TV? or record songs off the radio with your cassette recorder to make a mix tape to share with your girlfriend while you're both eating your Swanson TV dinner in the aluminum tray?
now ford is officially a shit company, no good car remaining! just as any euro trash FWD that requires high maintenance! R.I.P. FORD and I mean RUST in piece ford!
@jetpack1986 Just because they killed the panther platform does not mean that they have to outsource production of the Ford Mustang to keep production of the St.Thomas Plant but still the Mustang is still alive because I thought they are going to stay open and that the Mustang will not be made in the USA anymore because they shift production to Canada just to keep St.Thomas open but no they have to close it. What they did is something stupid instead of getting an Australian designed model !
I'm not sure whether to like or dislike this video? )= It is so sad that they have stopped production on the most reliable car to ever have rolled on this planet! I have owned 4 Towncars and 3 crown victorias! They will be the only type of car I will ever own. Ford for life! (No I haven't owned that many because they break down...1 of them I was in a huge accident, the others either I wanted a newer model or I built it, got bored, and moved on.) (=
@Embargoman this seriously made me cry, i haven't had my first car yet but when i do im willing to get a 97 Town Car Cartier Series. and when i do i will never let it leave my possession until the day i die! these cars will soon enough be good collector cars.
@planetvicecity yes you have the right to cry ..i cry too. but the good thing is i have my crown vic. and i love it too much coz about 20days ago someone hit me from the back i look at my car just the stop light broken but his car badly crashed.in that time i did not stop laughing.
i spend about 75$ to repair .he spend over then 1200$
@Brandic2020 Yes they did and they made the first Town Car knockoff and I bet they sell alot of Lincoln Town Car knockoffs even though they might be the same quality as the St.Thomas built Town Cars except when it comes to crash safety that let you end up in a real Town Car hearse !
V8, high torque, rear-wheel drive, four-doors, five seats, large trunk, roomy interior, safety, sleek design, and built and designed in America by Americans. This car had it all.
OK I see the video and its kind of sucks to see the last car at St.Thomas of the first car to come out of production in 1984 I am and I was planing to post something about the Town Car on Facebook about how was the great success of hopes and dreams when the Lincoln Town Car outsource their Wixom production, at the Keep St.Thomas Assembly Plant Open and Producing page on Facebook I was about to do Town Car talk you blocked me so I know it sucks to kill two great products !
ford is gonna regret doing that for a long time. Those new intercepters suck dick, ford is gonna lose a lot of money to, in my opinion, dodge. RIP Crown Victoria, maybe I'll see you again one day. (if ford wakes up)
@TheBjmr I hope they see the movie Taxi and maybe they'll bring back anotther old timer that has been famus in the 1970's and probably Ford might bring back the LTD sports sedan, why in the world you want a sports car for the highway patrol so you could have it all the power of the Mustang with the comfort of a full size car the LTD will be the one to be the real Corwn Victoria Sport for real to let the Dodge Charger R/T eat some dirt !
It was a car special. In my country, Saudi Arabia, in every neighborhood you see about 20 cars from the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. It is superior to the caprice of a new model 2000 to 2011. Caprice car stupid. Of course, I mean talk Caprice 2000 to 2011.
I cried while watching this :'( I've got two of them, and knowing that there will be no more produced is very sad. They're some pretty nice cars. They will be missed...
Well this is sad....Time to take extra care of my Crown Victoria. Its a damn shame. ever since that "Mallah" guy took over ford in 09, he wanted to scrap production on this amazing car for more fuel efficient methods....now granted they noted the car had decreased by 60% in sales over the last decade. but still no reason to end it. It had a selective market. End of an era i guess....
@jason123456789210 Well its made with the same specifications to concern of safety as its luxury sibling the Town Car has the highest crash safety rating both of them where made at the same plant so this is why Ford killed two great products the Taurus is made in the US and the MKT is made in the same country where the Town Car from 2008 and up where made but at the Oakville plant, Ford will regret the MKT is ugly and the Taurus might be of unknown quality as a police cruiser.
Sad video for the full sized car lover. The old USA, the one that had a national culture of doo wop, longer lower and wider cars, drive in theaters, and national pride. It died a long time ago unfortunately, but the Crown Vic was there to remind us of that time, to bring us back to that time, if not for anything else but to hold onto it just a little bit longer (as the Zodiacs would say). On the day that this video was filmed, all that was left of those days died.
@zoomeristen My guess is because of the gas mileage it gets. But, it is one of the most popular cars, no one really cared about the mileage, especially their biggest customers, the POLICE. Very sad that they are gone.
@hopetobetrooper Yeah, you're probably right.But if there is a market for the product,it then becomes even more surprising.My suggestion,they should have made the Eco Boost V6 an option.A mileage improver and powerful.
My first Car was A 1992 Crown Vic LX maroon ext maroon int manufactured in 7/91 paid $1800 had 87K on it. It had the early belt tensioner that was aluminum and had a mount for the pass side ignition coil. I loved that car. It kept me safe in 2 accidents and still ran. I ended up swapping the motor into another 92 in Jan 02 in was light blue with A blue interior. My folks sold it for me when I was stationed in Germany with the Army for 3 years. When I got home I bought a '96 P71 it was silver.
@hendo337 I paid $600 dollars for it. It had 148K miles on it. I spent $300 tuning it up myself. It went 135mph :D for $900 you can't beat. I get A year out of it. I had to sell it for scrap after the tranny wouldn't go into 3rd or 4th gear and the defective manifold was leaking to badly for me to top it off and drive it to work. A monthlater I got a letter from ford with the recall I could have had it fixed for free. I still lose sleep over that car. My next Crown vic was an '05 I bought in
@hendo337 Feb 07 had 19K on it. It was Beige on Tan leather it was an LX. I put Ford Racing 18' 5 spoke silver cal spc mustang style wheels on it with BFG G force tires a home made K&N CAI and had a custom made 2 1/4" true dual with H pipe exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers and Magnaflow tips put on it maurader style. I had it dynoed and it put 210RWHP and 257 ft lbs TQ down on A 90 degree day on a mustang dyno. I traded it for an F150 a year later. My last Panther was an '01 grand marquis GS.
@hendo337 I had it dualed out with an H pipe and thrush welded mufflers(fake flowmasters) made an home made K&N Cai. It was a great car. I saved my life when I encountered black ice and A telephone call in jan '10. I now have an '11 mustang 5.0 and an '11 F150 5.0. I love Panthers and I will defiantly buy an other one in the near future. I am thinking FRPP Coyote 5.0 crate motor and 6R swap the way the 2012 Crown Vic should have been. Shame on Ford for abandoning this american icon. Fuck Taurus!
i would love to see who said ok to send the very last traditional american car to a country that hates us? at the very least it should have stayed in Canada or the USA. that hurts....as much as losing the vic.
Why would they send that car to Saudi Arabia? It should stay in America where it belongs! Put it in the Ford museum next to the first one they built :)
@100aceswid FORD you have made a HORRIBLE mistake,Crown Victoria we love you. I cry all the time I see this video,but I will keep on viewing it always.
dam really upset over this. thanks for the video you work at the plant?. hard to see and know this will be the last of my fav. car. they should of preserved this Vic. somewhere in St. Thomas or Canada! upset about it leaving to Saudi. last car of it's kind and it was Candian made never knew that for the longest time thanks Ford!
shows how nice these were they didn't change much to the body since 98 probably cause of how great looking these cars were. will be greatly missed.
I love this. But I dislike it. Such a sad time in American automotive history. Nothing will be able to replace the Panthers. My Dad just bought a silver 2005 Grand Marquis. I love my 98 Grand Marquis. It's getting a little worn, but it still runs and drives like Panther-beast and looks better than most cars from 98 you'll ever see.
Thanks for the great feedback. Glade everyone enjoys my video, even though its not on the best of terms. Be sure to join my Facebook page in support of both the Vic and the St. Thomas plant.
Search for.....
Keep the St Thomas Assembly Plant open and producing Vehicles
@furious94ls Yes its Ford's best sedan in the full size range on the last platform known as the panther this is the end of the line of the LTD/Crown Victoria/Town Car/Grand Marquis/Mauradur/Continental line up of cars its the best full size lineup since the Mustang.
At first they shut down the plant in Mawah, New Jersey in 1980 my dad lost the job the format went on and the they move production to St.Louis, Missouri then they outsource production to Canada back in 1984 and now they idled the plant in St.Thomas you lost your job so what's next ? Australia I don't know I think FMC should rethink things to give you guys another product to make, I hope you find a birghter future where you have a stable job thank you for sharing this video Jaime.
When the last time I saw this video I was looking on videos of the LTD and its predecesors,my dad had a green LTD and worked in Mawah as production of this format has been tossed around until it became the panther platform, they use to make it in Mawah, NJ as globalisation sucks at the end thank you for making a great job even though the outsource of US jobs to other countries hurt but now this is more paiinful when they took jobs away the outsourcer. :( I'll miss those Galaxies,LTDs and CVs.
The last true american sedan, the Taurus doesn't even hold a candle to this. Why didn't they make a new version of the crown vic? throw in some new technology, a new interior, a 3.7 V6 and 5.0 V8! It would have been perfect.
That car Should not be shipped overseas it should be in the Ford museum.This is the last Full frame Rear wheel drive car built ending a 100 years of automotive history.Sad very Sad
@ddtedsauto Amen! The Ford CVPI in my own personal opinion is the worlds best car. Even if i were a multi millionaire and could buy any number of more expesive vehicles, the CVPI would always be number one. I still have my 2000 Ford CVPI I bought in Oct 2003. I will get a 2009 or 2010 CVPI next year as soon as one is "decommissioned" from police service
if that was the last frame where did the others go? its a shame this car went to saudi arabia but someone had to have the last vic didnt they?

@Brandic2020 Yes they did and they made the first Town Car knockoff and I bet they sell alot of Lincoln Town Car knockoffs even though they might be the same quality as the St.Thomas built Town Cars except when it comes to crash safety that let you end up in a real Town Car hearse !

OK I see the video and its kind of sucks to see the last car at St.Thomas of the first car to come out of production in 1984 I am and I was planing to post something about the Town Car on Facebook about how was the great success of hopes and dreams when the Lincoln Town Car outsource their Wixom production, at the Keep St.Thomas Assembly Plant Open and Producing page on Facebook I was about to do Town Car talk you blocked me so I know it sucks to kill two great products !

@TheBjmr I hope they see the movie Taxi and maybe they'll bring back anotther old timer that has been famus in the 1970's and probably Ford might bring back the LTD sports sedan, why in the world you want a sports car for the highway patrol so you could have it all the power of the Mustang with the comfort of a full size car the LTD will be the one to be the real Corwn Victoria Sport for real to let the Dodge Charger R/T eat some dirt !

It was a car special. In my country, Saudi Arabia, in every neighborhood you see about 20 cars from the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. It is superior to the caprice of a new model 2000 to 2011. Caprice car stupid. Of course, I mean talk Caprice 2000 to 2011.

Well this is sad....Time to take extra care of my Crown Victoria. Its a damn shame. ever since that "Mallah" guy took over ford in 09, he wanted to scrap production on this amazing car for more fuel efficient methods....now granted they noted the car had decreased by 60% in sales over the last decade. but still no reason to end it. It had a selective market. End of an era i guess....

@jason123456789210 Well its made with the same specifications to concern of safety as its luxury sibling the Town Car has the highest crash safety rating both of them where made at the same plant so this is why Ford killed two great products the Taurus is made in the US and the MKT is made in the same country where the Town Car from 2008 and up where made but at the Oakville plant, Ford will regret the MKT is ugly and the Taurus might be of unknown quality as a police cruiser.

Sad video for the full sized car lover. The old USA, the one that had a national culture of doo wop, longer lower and wider cars, drive in theaters, and national pride. It died a long time ago unfortunately, but the Crown Vic was there to remind us of that time, to bring us back to that time, if not for anything else but to hold onto it just a little bit longer (as the Zodiacs would say). On the day that this video was filmed, all that was left of those days died.

@hopetobetrooper Yeah, you're probably right.But if there is a market for the product,it then becomes even more surprising.My suggestion,they should have made the Eco Boost V6 an option.A mileage improver and powerful.

My first Car was A 1992 Crown Vic LX maroon ext maroon int manufactured in 7/91 paid $1800 had 87K on it. It had the early belt tensioner that was aluminum and had a mount for the pass side ignition coil. I loved that car. It kept me safe in 2 accidents and still ran. I ended up swapping the motor into another 92 in Jan 02 in was light blue with A blue interior. My folks sold it for me when I was stationed in Germany with the Army for 3 years. When I got home I bought a '96 P71 it was silver.
hendo337 4 months ago
@hendo337 I paid $600 dollars for it. It had 148K miles on it. I spent $300 tuning it up myself. It went 135mph :D for $900 you can't beat. I get A year out of it. I had to sell it for scrap after the tranny wouldn't go into 3rd or 4th gear and the defective manifold was leaking to badly for me to top it off and drive it to work. A monthlater I got a letter from ford with the recall I could have had it fixed for free. I still lose sleep over that car. My next Crown vic was an '05 I bought in
hendo337 4 months ago
@hendo337 Feb 07 had 19K on it. It was Beige on Tan leather it was an LX. I put Ford Racing 18' 5 spoke silver cal spc mustang style wheels on it with BFG G force tires a home made K&N CAI and had a custom made 2 1/4" true dual with H pipe exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers and Magnaflow tips put on it maurader style. I had it dynoed and it put 210RWHP and 257 ft lbs TQ down on A 90 degree day on a mustang dyno. I traded it for an F150 a year later. My last Panther was an '01 grand marquis GS.
hendo337 4 months ago
@hendo337 I had it dualed out with an H pipe and thrush welded mufflers(fake flowmasters) made an home made K&N Cai. It was a great car. I saved my life when I encountered black ice and A telephone call in jan '10. I now have an '11 mustang 5.0 and an '11 F150 5.0. I love Panthers and I will defiantly buy an other one in the near future. I am thinking FRPP Coyote 5.0 crate motor and 6R swap the way the 2012 Crown Vic should have been. Shame on Ford for abandoning this american icon. Fuck Taurus!

At first they shut down the plant in Mawah, New Jersey in 1980 my dad lost the job the format went on and the they move production to St.Louis, Missouri then they outsource production to Canada back in 1984 and now they idled the plant in St.Thomas you lost your job so what's next ? Australia I don't know I think FMC should rethink things to give you guys another product to make, I hope you find a birghter future where you have a stable job thank you for sharing this video Jaime.
