I know this license plate. It’s actually not a cop and owned by a certain security detail company. OP I’m guessing you saw this in York? The guy’s actually been a godsend for my mom and several others at times. He works at York Hospital so give him a break.

I’ve seen him around the York area, he’s definitely a nicer guy than the person who drives around the LIFTED P71 Crown Vic that looks like what happens when a P71 and a Police Explorer SUV love each other very much…

Guys wrong, though. Interceptor is superior in every way to the Town Car. There's a reason it's picked.

Agreed, the P71 is for someone who wants a simple, durable, reliable car that’s relatively cheap to fix, and has decent performance.

The Town Car is for someone who wants a La-Z-Boy on wheels and who doesn’t care about handling

Downside of both? The fuel mileage of a big V8

Exactly. I think the P71 also has a different engine tuning, better suspension, dual exhaust, better rear gear differential, different and torquier torque converter.

If I;

A; didn’t hate automatics so much

B; didn’t want to pay for the fuel mileage penalty of a V8

C; didn’t prefer a usable cabin like a wagon/hatchback …

I’d have seriously considered a P71, and I have no desire to ‘be a cop’, I just appreciate a dead simple body on frame chassis and rear wheel drive (especially in the winter ;) )

I used to hate automatic as well but it's getting to a point where standard is non existent
