Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-07-11 22:59	That's odd, by all indications it is a 1998 model but the Police Interceptor badge was first included on the 1999 models.
tonkatracker ◊ 2010-07-11 23:09	well I couldn't actually read the badge but I could tell 100% that it was a rectangle badge, Was the Crown Vic badge ever rectangle? I have only seen the ones that had the word 'Crown Victoria" cut out.
Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-07-11 23:31	No, as you said, the regular Crown Victoria badge was only a cutout. I can't tell as well, but was there amber on the tailights? It appears as if there is none to me, and if there isn't then I could say with more confidence that it is a 1999 model. Halfway through the 1999 model year, police versions got all-red tailight lenses.
tonkatracker ◊ 2010-07-11 23:34	yes there was a good close-up shot of the taillights (I didn't capture it because I didn't think it mattered ) but there was definitely amber in the taillight, maybe the film car company added a 'Police Interceptor' ?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-07-11 23:37	Maybe that's what happened. Just to be safe we can say it's a 1998-1999 [P71] (I still believe it was a police car at some point due to the spotlights).
