The legendary Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, often referred to as Crown Vic, is a classic among police vehicles in the United States. The specialized police version was produced between 1998 and 2011 and is considered a symbol of toughness and reliability in law enforcement. The Crown Vic is based on the second-generation Ford Crown Victoria platform, which was built from 1998 to 2011. Before this generation, the Ford LTD Crown Victoria was the predecessor, produced from 1979. The vehicle was designed to meet the specific requirements of police services, including high speed and exceptional durability. As one of the last vehicles with a body-on-frame construction (a feature that made it particularly robust and easy to repair), the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was a familiar sight on American streets.
Technical specifications of the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is equipped with a 4.6-liter V8 engine that delivers around 250 horsepower and provides enough power for pursuits and quick response times. The vehicle has rear-wheel drive, which is the preferred drivetrain for police vehicles due to its better acceleration control. The reinforced suspension and high-performance brakes were specifically developed for the demanding use in law enforcement. It's interesting to note that the Interceptor came with a Heavy-Duty Cooling Package that prevented overheating even under extreme stress. Designers like Jack Telnack and Pat Schiavoni worked on the development of the model, turning it into what it is today.
The 1/18 Scale model by AUTOart
The 1/18-scale model car by AUTOart is a detailed replica of the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. It's important to mention that this model has been modified and does not reflect the original product produced by AUTOart. This modification allows collectors to have special and unique variants in their collection. The model's paint job is two-tone - mainly in black and white, typical for police vehicles. The roof is equipped with a red and blue police light, which appears to be functional in the shown miniature. The sides feature typical agency markings and police emblems that do justice to the authenticity of the original. The front grille, headlights, and even the rims are faithfully recreated, reflecting the high standards of AUTOart.

The specific miniature, part of the collection of Modelly member "Lilisred," shows modified lights and additional antennas, indicating that it is a special collector's item.

Although this model is not explicitly associated with a specific series or film, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is often seen in productions like The Shield or Training Day, driven by main characters often involved in intense pursuits. The level of detail and special modifications make this model an interesting piece for any collection.
