Seriously? Screams poor and stupid to me.

How old are we talking? Even the 99' models seem relatively luxorious in apperance compared to Ford's other offerings. As I stated, a poor man's Caddy.

Check the original post. I edited it with a pic of the model I am talking about. I dont think there is anything luxorious about that model. I dont think there is much of anything more luxorious in the model you're referring to either.

When I was young, blacks used to drive old Caddies around. Yes blacks! Call that observation what you want, it's a fact. While I was out getting tickets in my wonderous "sports car" they continued to cruise around happily and unmolested, so who was the smart one there?

Today, Cadillac doesn't make a roomy full size car anymore, so a Crown Vic is about the only choice left. Lot of damn car for the money, comfortable and dependable. If you're not handy with a wrench, that's the used car you want right there.
