The 2008 Ford Crown Victoria (EN144) is a full sized saloon that was in production between 1998 to 2011. It found popularity within the taxi and police consumer markets for its durability.
The P71 series is the common police interceptor model utilised within North America from 1992 to 2011. It was replaced by the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan and the Ford Police Interceptor Utility upon the end of P7B production.
The 1998 to 2000 model was the first production police interceptor version of the 2nd generation Ford Crown Victoria.
It replaced the 1st generation in 1998 with a restyled body that brought its looks closer to the Mercury Grand Marquis. It was discontinued, along with the rest of the Panther platform, in April of 2011, and subsequently replaced by the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan.
