Crown Vic
Police fleet staple
Crown Vic is informal for the Ford Crown Victoria, a full-size sedan produced from 1992 to 2011.
The car became iconic as the standard American police cruiser and taxi, its boxy frame and V8 engine making it ubiquitous on city streets.
A Crown Vic pulled up behind me with lights flashing.
Spotting one still triggers a reflex check of the speedometer.
