1997 Ford Crown Victoria Review

An enduring, endearing tradtional.

1997 Crown Victoria Review Summary & Specifications

While other domestic manufacturers have discontinued this type of car,

Ford has pledged to continue to provide these vehicles to the customers--inlcuding

police forces and taxi fleets across America--who still appreciate the

features and comfort which come with a full-frame platform and V8 power

turning the rear wheels.

Comparison shopping, feature for feature, will show you just what a

value these all-American cars are as well. Depending upon which model you

select and how you option it, the window stickers for Ford's Crown Victoria

or Mercury's Grand Marquis will range from about $22,000 to $27,000.

It is, as they say, a lot of car for the money. And you'll probably

find the dealership willing to discuss even that reasonable price.
