The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (colloquially referred to simply as the CVPI, P71, P7B) is a four-door body-on-frame sedan that was manufactured by Ford from 1992 to 2011. It is the law enforcement version of the Ford Crown Victoria.
From 1997 to 2011, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was the most widely used automobile in law enforcement operations in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. They were also used for this purpose on a more limited scale in other countries.
After the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice, the Ford Motor Company held a near-monopoly on the market for police cruisers in the United States and Canada for over a decade. The conventional rear-wheel drive, V8 power, and body-on-frame construction were considered advantageous for police use. The body-on-frame construction allowed inexpensive repairs after collisions without the need to straighten the chassis. Rear-wheel drive was deemed better for hard maneuvers and more robust than the front-wheel-drive competition for rough driving over curbs and other obstacles in the urban environment.[1]
Although the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was not sold to the general public, they are widely available via secondhand in North America once they are decommissioned and no longer in service in law enforcement and fleet duty. The cars are in demand by taxi companies, those who want a safe, durable and/or inexpensive car, and those who need a car with a bench seat which can take three passengers in the back. The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor came equipped with many heavy duty parts such as a revised transmission, and a 186 kW (253 PS; 249 hp) engine. Used Crown Victoria Police Interceptors are normally stripped of any police decals, computer equipment, police radios, and emergency lights before being sold or auctioned to the public.[2]

Though the name has been officially in use since 1992, the 1979-1991 full-size LTDs and LTD Crown Victorias used the "P72" production code designation for both fleet and taxi and police models, with the model itself being internally classified as S (similar to LX). From 1992 to 1997, the police car models of the Crown Victoria (both base and LX trims) were officially known as Crown Victoria P71s.
In the 1993 model year, the Crown Victoria was given a chrome front grille and a reflector strip between the taillights. Another minor restyle followed suit in 1995, with a new grille and taillights. To accommodate the design of the 1995's new taillights, the rear license plate was moved from the bumper to the trunk's lid.
For 1996, the Crown Victoria badge on the front fenders was removed and the cars received a new steering wheel 1997 models have a lighter blue interior color vs prior years.
For the 1998 model year, the Ford Motor Company restyled the Crown Victoria, eliminating the "aero" look that the first generation Crown Victoria had from 1992 to 1997; adopting the more conservative styling of the Mercury Grand Marquis. Both cars included restyled front and rear end components. The 1998 police package P71 had a chrome grille, chrome door handle trim, chrome bumper strips, and a chrome-trimmed flat black rear fascia with the "Crown Victoria" badge. At this time, the car was still known as the "Crown Victoria P71".[citation needed]
In 1999, Ford introduced the "Crown Victoria Police Interceptor" name, with a badge on the trunk lid replacing the 1998 "Crown Victoria" badge. A chrome-trimmed gloss black rear fascia, black door handle trim, black bumper strips, and a gloss black slatted grille were also introduced at this time. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Last night, the wife and I got the fireplace going, got on the couch, shared a big bowl of popcorn and binge watched model building. Thanks for sharing the evening with us Chris!
That is awesome!
It looks great, nice job. You would never think it was a snap together model.
I think so too!
Initially I thought you'd "cop out" and not super detail this. But you arrested my fears when you began to paint. And it came out Gang Busters. BTW - Police puns are more challenging than I thought. Thanks again for showing us - no matter the kit, there's always a way to make it "your own".
LOL, thanks again, keep up the puns!
I built one of these when I was kid in the state patrol boxing. Really nice and easy kit that was.
Very nice build, it brought back a lot of memories of the patrol vehicles I drove.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your service.
I own a 1995 Crown Victoria And I love it.
Those press fit and snap kit cars are great slump busters great build Chris looks good👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hmmmmm, pre painted with a nice paint job!
Hopefully this will bring more people to the hobby. Nice vid Chris!
I hope so too!
@@hpiguy 👍😉
Snappy build for a snap-kit. Really looks great!!! Now to find Jake and Elwood!!!!.........🚓
Thanks!
The modern bluesbrothers movie needs this
Yeah!
i wish there was model kits in this scale of the CVPI that were the newer body style the 98 to 11
You need to do a worn out version that has been sold at a police auction!
Or leave all the cop stuff off entirely and built a one-elderly-owner cream puff with wire wheels and a simcon top.
Sounds like a cool idea for your build, post up on FB when it's done. :)
Teal green unmarked FBI re: The X-Files.
That pre painted body looked amazing , great build Chris
Thanks 👍
The most detailed press fit model ever
It's pretty sweet.
Love these, the crown Vic is the face of cop cars in America
Nice 1990s police Crown Vic build.
Ready to head out and check on his patrolmen......
Great Job as always!
Yes! Thank you!
If you had some epoxy putty, you could mold some tiny doughnuts and place them in the front seat. LOL. Seriously, very fun build. TY.
Great idea!!
The model is very impressive and it has more detail than I would have expected from a curbside model. It looks great after you painted and detailed it. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks a lot!
That came out really well, Chris. Defend the Police!
Thanks David!
Looks great!!
Thanks!
It is crazy to think that these cars ware everywhere when i was a kid I liked the sheriff cars from my state good old Polk County Oregon ahh good memories
Once Chevy stopped the Caprice Ford had a monopoly. Millions of them sold.
Cool! This was the last kit I bought from my local hobby shop before they closed earlier this year. I've built several of these and they're great.
Very cool!
Sorry to hear your local shop went under - soo hard to compete against big box and online vendors who may have great inventory but no "touch" and "feel" to them....
Nice Blues Brothers reference 👍👍👍
Thanks!
I built this model before, I even made it look like my old 97 Crown Vic Police Interceptor. Miss that car, but with a cracked frame it was time to junk it.
that interior looks Awesome
I think so too!
Might get one, as it looks like a nice kit to do over a weekend or two!
It's a fun kit!
Thanks for sharing your skills and making this video. After decades of building Revell, AMT and Lindberg car kits, my son gave me this snaptite kit for Christmas. When first saw it, I was not very impressed but then realized what a nice model it will make among my other 1:25s. As you well said, no hood to open but nothing very interesting to see in this modern engines anyway. I always enjoy your videos.
Ooooohhh looks like you could put lights in the light bar that would look cool, snap kits have really upped the detail really nice kits.👍👍😊
Cool idea!
I own a crown Vic and it is the best car I have ever owned never broke
Like that the paint and other details are on there already great job again!
Glad you like it!
Nice build, very accurate also. Excellent representation of a late 90's early 2000's radio car, well done Chris!
Many thanks!
This is my childhood dream car wow
You're definitely changing my mind on the press fit/snap kits. Another nice build man!
Glad to hear it!
Wow! What a great job! The amount of detail you put in into a snap kit. Looks spot on! Being from Illinois I see these patrolling all over the expressways. Luckily I've never seen one up close or in my rearview mirror!😁Looks like a really fun kit!
Thanks a bunch!
Sweet build! Can hardly wait to pick up a couple!!
Enjoy it!
Looks great
Thanks for stopping by!
That is beautiful with a pre-paint shell I agree with Tim hopefully it will bring people back to the hobby loved those flag decals well done sir
I hope so too
I've got two of these model cars, great build as always Mr Chris..😀😀👍👍, I own a real life retired 2001 Ford Crown Victoria P71, it's white in color with the black steel wheels with dog bowl center caps
Thanks!
Another awesome build Chris! That interior came out nicely! Those Crown Victoria wheels really pop! Thanks for sharing!!
Glad you like them!
these cars are great demo derby cars for the kit bashers types being 4 door and so many real crown vic derby cars just saying another great video i always enjoy watching the master at work
Glad you like them!
That's a really neat kit. Thanks.
It really is!
Nice snapfit kit. Love the detailing nice that it comes painted. Great build. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
Thanks, you too!
Cool model! Awesome build!
Thank you! Cheers!
Always liked this going to build mine as a stock crown vic.way cool yours looks great
Go for it!
I've been pulled over by these Illinois State Police vehicles! Very nice build, I might want to do one of these!!!! Thanks for the reviews!!!
Have fun!
Chris + another great build keepem coming can't weight till the international transtar cab over gets built love the channel great content as always
Thanks 👍
Great build! It would also make a great taxi!
Yes!
Doesn't matter if its snap fit or glued, these kits are fun to build over a weekend, yours looks great as always
Right on!
I wish that a company will make a 1/18 scale version of a 1992 or 1996 crown Vic.
Fun kit built one with my youngest
Cool!
It would be cool if someone made a independence Missouri police department one
Another interesting review & build on a kit with intent to buy. I wish to do a black unmarked. Men in Black stuff like in the movie "Paul." We all have geared interests.
Paul is one of my favorite movies. :)
@@hpiguy You know Tara is Gweneth Paltrow's Mother.
Nice kit, and great job of building up. Guess, I’ll have to dust off the West Virginia, Virginia state police decals I bought years ago. I can see getting this kit just for the tires.
Enjoy, thanks!
Similar to the snap kit 2010 Mustang Convertible I just finished.. Impressive details for a Snap kit!
Very cool!
Nice buddy! 👍👍🤘✌🏻
Thanks for the visit!
@@hpiguy - yeah buddy you’re mighty welcomed!
That's a nice kit. I had a 1/25-24. Kit it also ford crown Victoria. I'm not sure if it was snap or not but it had some engine detail but not a lot. It came with a few different decal set, American and Canadian,(R. C. M. P) being from Canada I used the R.C.M.P decal set. I also 1/18 version of the vehicle.
Right on
I enjoy your videos. I was wondering, do you have trouble with your rattle paint cans quitting before they are empty? I have had a number of Rustoleum cans do that over the years. My latest one did it the first time I used it. I tried it again, and it spray a tiny bit and quit. Thanks.
Sure, the nozzles clog now and then.
A soak for a day in Super Clean eats out the paint and it's useable again.
State County Municipal Offender Data System. Nice build
Thanks for watching!
I wish they'd make a 98 to 11 model year kit
Nicely detailed snap together kit - it'd be nice if Revell brought back their late model Caprice police car from this same era. How does it compare to the 1970s squad cars Round 2 has reintroduced lately?
I like the 70s squad, and they are reissuing it as a taxi this summer. Looking forward to hosing it with yellow.
Have to admit I was as surprised as you were at the paint and extra work they put into the body details.
One minor disappointment- when various Arizona police agencies bought fleets of these cars they went with bare steel rims painted black. A well-provisioned parts box can fix that but it should have been a kit option IMO.
And damn, that interior looks nice as always.
Thanks!
Yeah, the police cruisers around here have black steel wheels with the small chrome caps.
This is a great simple model, my only complaint is the tires are to narrow and would be nice if the headlights could've been clear.
6:05 I had a girlfriend once who dressed up and said that to me! xD
Nice!
I have 5 boxed unopened Lindburg kits made years ago with Ohio State Patrol on the cover. Wonder what’s their worth. Plastic wrap to. Enjoying your channel
I have an opportunity to get the electronic components from one of these, do you think they would fit on the caprice snapkits?
On the Mustang GT Kit I just did I painted the exhaust silver....
👍👍
Thansk!
Here's a question for a Tamiya vs bug spray can the car mixed primer and paint together which melted the body the trunk and hood were melted completely to nothing it was made for plastic maybe not sharing the can paint could be hot when apply I'm trying to sand it off smoothly I was thinking prime it first then paint after
I have no idea what paint you've used but Rustoleum has never melted any styrene for me, ever.
@@hpiguy it was the product you it a mix primer and paint together that attack the model the hood and truck disoved to nothing
Nice kit. I always thought those were made by Revell. Would've been even better IF they had made it a 3-4 in 1: Cop car, firefighter car, taxi and daily driver. But as you said, it's easy to turn into a daily driver (And that's why I put a 3-4 instead of just 3).
Kind of kit I'd get, but I already have over 60 not build and I don't build as fast as you do! lol
Pretty sure Revell has the Caprice kit, as a squad and a taxi, but I could always be wrong.
@@hpiguy Yes, they do. But I also thought they had this one as well.
Got one of these a couple years back and that thing had no paint at all on it except maybe the light bar!
How about a list of products and colors you used in building this car.
Fantastic work as usual , *Chris* ! I have the *CHP* version of this C.V.P.I. ; I'm thinking of building it as a decommissioned version to closely match my 2004 'P71' ( which has the 'Parchment' interior , similar to the khaki you've employed ) .
Now , who's going to make a 1998 - 2011 P71 for us ?
Go for it!
Chris how come you know so much about the interior of a prowler?
Misspent teenage years...
what kind of glue do you use
I like Bondene and Dollar Store super glue.
Great job mate👍
Thanks 👍
Since this is an Illinois car, I think you might go back and rust the under body. But great car!
No more Testors silver now that they have been bought out......hope you stocked up. Its like losing an old friend to an old guy like me.
Who did they get bought out by? Will testors no longer be a brand?
@@tapewaves2783 Guess there will be some testors still around.I originally heard they were gone but looks like only some brands, Testors has decided to discontinue a number of popular paint brands in response to what it calls a changing modeling market. Rust-Oleum, which owns Testors, recently announced that it was discontinuing its Model Master acrylic, Pactra spray and Aztek airbrush paint brands so that it could focus more on other products.May 6, 2020
I have a matchbox ford crown vic police car in the livery of the police of my home state qld
I can see a led light kit on all lights and hooked to 9v battery and a on off switch on this
Yeah!
Baahdd Boy - Whatzya gonna do when da law comes alookin fo yooo? A little flat coated electrictal tap to replicate more like rubber floor matting - even up front since the good guys don't always ttime to mind their feet + a little attention to the trim info provided above "comments" and this seems to give a great replica "squad rod!" Would also make a good "canvas" for a demo derby warriorfor "sumpthing else..."
After watching your vids for almost two years now, I gotta know where you get your music?
I use royalty free music from various websites. :)
@@hpiguy there is one song that I want to get for my own enjoyment, lotsa slide guitar. I think it's the last song on this video, if I remember correctly.
I used one IRL
I'll find the can let you know the name of the can
Great review and fantastic build. I would have built it the same way. Thanks
Glad you liked it!
For decades,Ford used to stand for:

Urrr goinnng to jailll bad boi
LOL
It’s still amazing to me that the Lindberg mold is still the only one of the classic Crown Vic that is so well known as a police cruiser and taxi cab. By the way, it really bugged me that you left that raised lettering on the underside!
