The Ford Crown Victoria was named for its regal crown trim that wrapped around the roofline. Stunning and beautiful, it the Crown Vic became Ford's flagship model in the mid 1950's. The blend of bold design with luxurious comfort made it a perfect symbol of post-war optimism. The design inspiration was derived from the growing fascination with jet-age aesthetics and chrome laden glamour.
