It has been almost 11 years since the last Crown Vic rolled off the St. Thomas Ford Plant's assembly line. Cars nowadays are less than desirable and fragile compared to the Crown Vic. The Crown Vic is the pinnacle of 'Built Tough', Ford's slogan.

For $0, you can help us in our mission to convince Ford to relaunch these rugged road beasts. Please share this petition and together, we can make this happen!

I want Ford to announce the new line of Vics on the 15th of September at 1225 in honor of the amazing vehicle which they discontinued.

Gone but not forgotten, 1967-2011

Some History on the Crown Vic for those who are not up to date:

The Ford Crown Victoria is a full-size sedan that was marketed and manufactured by Ford. The successor to the Ford LTD Crown Victoria, two generations of the model line were produced from the 1992 to 2012 model years. The Ford counterpart of the Mercury Grand Marquis, the Crown Victoria was the largest sedan marketed by Ford in North America, slotted above the Ford Taurus. The Crown Victoria Police Interceptor (1992–2011) was marketed specifically for law-enforcement use; a long-wheelbase Crown Victoria sedan (2002–2011) was marketed primarily for taxi cab fleets.

The Crown Victoria was produced on the rear-wheel-drive body-on-frame Ford "Panther" platform, sharing its chassis with the Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car. From 1997 until their 2011 discontinuation, the three model lines were the sole four-door sedans produced in North America with a full-length frame, rear-wheel drive, and a standard V8 engine. While the front and rear crumple zones were engineered into the vehicle, it was one of Ford's products that weren't of unibody construction for the entire generation.

For its entire production, the Crown Victoria was produced by Ford Canada alongside the Grand Marquis at St. Thomas Assembly in Southwold, Ontario, Canada. From 1991 to 2011, over 1.5 million examples (including Police Interceptors) were produced by St. Thomas Assembly prior to its closure. A 2012 Crown Victoria (intended for Middle East export) was the final vehicle produced by the facility. Following the discontinuation of the model line, the Crown Victoria was not directly replaced, with the full-size Ford Taurus serving as the next basis for Ford police cars.

Police sedans need to be large cars. They need interior room for cops wearing lots of equipment, radios, video systems, and all sorts of other electronic gear, and so as to accommodate a prisoner cage and possibly special seating that is resistant to hiding contraband. They need heavy-duty suspensions, brakes, cooling, and electrical systems. They need to have largish trunks for carrying all the other field gear cops use on patrol. Cars nowadays just don't cut it and Police Officers at many different departments prefer the older vehicles to the newer, more modern counterparts.
