Video: the very last Crown Vic rolls off the assembly line & into the sunset

Crownvic

The very last Crown Victoria rolled off the assembly line at 12:30 p.m. this week in St. Thomas, Ontario, ending what senior editor Andrew Ganz of Left Lane News called, “a bygone era of Detroit boulevardiers, with their front bench seats, soft suspensions and awkward, space-robbing proportions”.

After decades of car production the Canadian car plant is closing, and the much loved Crown Vic of police departments and taxi cab drivers around the country will be replaced by the all-new Ford police Interceptor sedans and SUVs.

The new Ford workhorse cars replacing the Crown Vic are based partially on the Ford Taurus and will be built in a car plant n Chicago’s South Side starting early next year.

The boys in blue at Ford sold about 80,000 Crown Victorias and Town Cars last year to police departments and Taxi cab companies around the country.

The new Ford Police Interceptor sedans and SUVs will offer better performance and better fuel economy, but unlike the Crown Vic the new cars will be front wheel drive.

Check out the video below as we take an up close and in depth look at the new Ford Police Interceptor sedan and SUV.
