In the early 1980s this was the top version of Ford's full-size American sedan, sold as the LTD Crown Victoria: a square-cut, rear-wheel-drive V8 on a separate chassis. The name went back to a chrome-roofed Fairlane of 1955, and in 1992 it became a model in its own right, famous as a police car and taxi.
