Dumb Question...

[bluebeast86]

Hey everybody-
I am not a Ford guy but i bought a 1986 Ford Crown Vic LX about a month and I was wondering is Panther the platform name for Grand Marquis, Crown Vic, Towncar, etc.? I figured as much but I want to know for sure. As for the Vic, I'm impressed with it. It's the best Ford I have ever driven. Thank you!

You got it on the first shot. Panther is the name for the Crown vic, Grand Marquis, and Towncar 1979-present...

to GMN!

[bluebeast86]

Yeah I thought so. Kinda like Fox is for Mustangs.

Yes, Ford likes the animal names and GM likes the alphabet. Beautiful car and welcome to GMN.

I'm just nit-picking, here, but panther is the name for Crown Vic and Grand Marquis '79-present, and Town Car '80-present. '79 Town Cars were still on the larger chassis. Also, don't forget Mercury Marauders '03-'05!

And I'm not sure if I already said so or not, but welcome!

Well, if you're going to nitpick that much, you'd better also mention the Panther-chassis Mark VI!

really? Pics? Still learning. Lol. Next thing you'll tell me is that there's a Mustang on the panther frame.

Just take a walk through the Reader's Rides forum. They're in the minority, but they're around.

For starters, here's marquisman's '80 Givenchy.......
