1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor

1999 was the first year that the police version of Ford's Crown Victoria sedan was officially called the Police Interceptor. Though Ford had always built police versions of the Crown Victoria, from 1992 to 1998, the model was simply called the Crown Victoria P71, referring to the production code. Along with the civilian model, the P71 was restyled in 1998, and it retained much of the civilian model's styling, including a chrome grille, door handle trim, bumper trim strips, and the Crown Victoria's rear fascia and badging. In 1999, along with the new Crown Victoria Police Interceptor name and a Police Interceptor badge on the rear fascia, the grille, door handle trim and bumper trim strips were now glossy black. (An optional "Street Appearance Package" was also available to make the Crown Victoria Police Interceptor look like the civilian model by adding back all the chrome. 1999 was the only year the Ford Crown Victoria had the gloss black grille, as it was changed to flat black for 2000. This 1999 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor belonged to the Public Safety Department at the Milwaukee School of Engineering in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
