Overview
Second generation (1998–2011)
For the 1998 model year, the Ford Motor Company restyled the Crown Victoria, eliminating the "aero" look that the first-generation Crown Victoria had from 1992 to 1997, adopting the more conservative styling of the Mercury Grand Marquis. Both cars included restyled front- and rear-end components. The 1998 police package P71 had a chrome grille, chrome door handle trim, chrome bu…
History
After the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice, the Ford Motor Company held a near-monopoly on the market for police cruisers in the United States and Canada for over a decade. The conventional rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and body-on-frame construction were considered advantageous for police use. The body-on-frame construction allowed inexpensive repairs after collisions without the need to straighten the chassis. Rear-wheel drive was deemed better for har…
First generation (1992–1997)
Though the name has been officially in use since 1992, the 1979–1991 full-sized LTDs and LTD Crown Victorias used the "P72" production code designation for both fleet and taxi and police models, with the model itself being internally classified as S (similar to LX). From 1992 to 1997, the police car models of the Crown Victoria (both base and LX trims) were officially known as Crown Victoria P71s.

The CVPI is equipped with an external oil-to-engine-coolant oil cooler to reduce engine oil temperatures, allowing the vehicles to operate at high rpm/high loads for an extended period of t…

Police Interceptor badges are now available for purchase online, so this identifying technique is not as reliable as it once w…
Problems and criticism
Following the criticism of fires following highway-speed rear-end collisions, 2005 and later model CVPIs now had an optional automatic fire suppression system and special "trunk packs" designed to prevent cargo from penetrating the fuel tank in a collision. The customer must pay an additional $150 per car for the trunk packs.
Some problems also arose with early 2003 CVPIs; the newly designed steel wheels rusted prem…
Discontinuation
On March 12, 2010, Ford Motor Company unveiled the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan.
