antp ◊ 2008-08-23 19:31	received by e-mail: Quote I am not particularly sure about the car you call a Ford LTD Crown Victoria Wagon (also from episode 1.10). Isn't this a Mercury Colony Park station wagon?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-08-23 23:50	It is most definitely a Ford. However, this is actually a 1979-1980 Ford LTD Country Squire. This was before the Crown Victoria name was used. Mercurys had a different front.
taxiguy ◊ 2008-08-24 04:38	Wasn't the "Crown Victoria" name not used on the wagons anyway, even after it started to be used on the sedans? (i.e. "Ford LTD Country Squire") Also ford guy, the "Crown Victoria" name actaully started in 1980 as the top trim level for sedans (replacing "Landau")
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-08-24 04:44	Right, I believe you're correct about that. There was this one, simply known as the "LTD Country Squire" and there was your base "LTD Crown Victoria Wagon." I believe that's how it was. And I'm well aware of the Crown Victoria name first being used in 1980 as replacing the Landau name. I was referring specifically to the wagons.

Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-08-24 04:51	insult? haha...c'mon taxiguy, I wasn't insulted
taxiguy ◊ 2008-08-24 05:46	Just makin' sure It's just that, if someone told me something really obvious about a car I "specialize" in (say... the Toyota Camry for instance) in a way like I didn't know it already, I might be a little off-put, you know? I realized that after I posted the comment, I thought "wow, I am actually telling ford guy the first year the "Crown Victoria" name was used, like he doesn't already know"
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-08-24 05:50	I understand what you mean

Commander 57 ◊ 2014-07-12 13:45	Long mis-listed. This is a '79, not an '80, per the hood ornament style. Changing.
somename ◊ 2014-07-14 22:13	^79s have clear turn signals. Main picture is an 80; several of the thumbs are a 79. -- Last edit: 2014-07-14 22:18:22

And I'm well aware of the Crown Victoria name first being used in 1980 as replacing the Landau name. I was referring specifically to the wagons. From what I understand Crown Victoria was the fancier or more upscale package...not a base model LTD. By the early 80s a base or regular LTD was a smaller, compact Ford...even with the wagons. The bigger, full size Fords were the Crown Vics. This one of the Gioberti’s is definitely a Country Squire with the faux wood paneling...but I believe it’s an LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire.
night cub ◊ 2018-08-09 05:29	HunterMan wrote but I believe it’s an LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire. No. This is only a 1980 model. The 1980 Brochure: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" Still just called "LTD Country Squire" in 1981, 1982 and even 1983 according to Ford's own brochures: 1981: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" 1982: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org" 1983: Link to "oldcarbrochures.org"

However, I have read before that Ford produced the Crown Victoria model from 1979 to the early to mid 90s for all their full-size sedan’s and station wagons. By the mid 90s minivans we’re starting to replace station wagons, so they probably phased them out around that time. However, maybe Ford also produced baseline LTD wagons, and this one from Falcon Crest is only a “regular” LTD and not a Crown Victoria LTD??
night cub ◊ 2018-08-09 08:13	Crown Victoria was the top trim level from 1980-82 on coupes and sedans, in 1983, when Ford was following the downsizing trend, renamed the Granada replacement "LTD" and renamed the full-size line as "LTD Crown Victoria" (Pontiac did the same thing with the Bonneville). Old body-on-frame full-size cars were supposed to go extinct by the end of the decade because gas prices were supposed to keep rising. Well we all know that didn't happen. For 1992, they finally dropped the LTD out of the name. The non-woodgrain wagons were LTD CV while the woodgrains were LTD Country Squires from 1983-91. -- Last edit: 2018-08-09 08:15:03
