The 2007 Ford Crown Victoria traces its roots to the 1980 model year when Ford adopted the name for a high-line trim level on the full-size LTD sedan. As a side note, Ford also used “Crown Victoria” for a more advanced version of the mid-1950s Fairlane coupe. Soon after that 1980 model, all of Ford’s full-size sedans became known as LTD Crown Victorias. The Crown Vic’s model run has continued uninterrupted since then, with only one major makeover taking place, in 1992, which is when the “LTD” moniker was dropped.
