Vic

nounShop talkAutomotive

A common shop nickname for the Ford Crown Victoria sedan.

The Ford Crown Victoria, a full-size, body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive sedan heavily used by police and taxi fleets. Mechanics know them for their durable Panther platform, reliable 4.6-liter Modular V8 engines, and ease of repair due to massive engine bays and simple, heavy-duty suspension designs.
