INTERESTING FACTS:
The 1991 Ford Crown Victoria was the last of the big boxy chrome bumpered cars. It was also a short limited production year with the introduction of the first Aero Body Crown Victoria (1992) hitting the streets in March 1991, as an early 1992 model. The 1991 Ford Crown Victoria became a dinosuar instantly only 3 months into 1991. It is now the most desired of the 1988-1991 body styles. they are easily recognized by amber bulbs behind clear front turn signal lenses (rather than clear bulbs behind amber lenses).
5.0L/302 cu Fuel Injected V8 was the standard engine for both civilian(with single exhuast) and Police models (with dual exhaust).
The 5.8L/351cu HO( High Output) carburated with the infamous Variable Venturi 2 barrel carb was optional to police only at extra price. 1991 was also the last year the 5.8L HO was available for Police models.
"P72 "was the VIN code for "Ford Fleet" models and was used on both Police and Taxi models due to they shared most of thier heavy duty components. Only the police model came with dual exhaust and a 140mph certified calibration speedometer. Standard models and taxi's speedometer's went up to 85mph and had single exhaust.
The "P71" Police Interceptor vin code started after 1992, Then P72 was used for Taxi, P73 Base model, P74 LX model
The Fuel injected 5.0L Police cars outmaneuvered and outperformed the overrated Carburated 5.8L V8 cars on many aspects. They were lighter, smoother and more fuel efficient with faster get up and go. Many agencies preferred them with the 5.0L after comparing them. They also enjoyed not having to deal with the problem prone Variable Venturi carburetors.
