Kim Beautiful car, you should be very proud. I always loved the Crown Victoria!

Nicely photographed example of this unique design. However, I think the added length of this vehicle to accommodate its retractable roof detracts from its profile and the addition of the Continental kit spare tire really ruins its overall proportions. Just my opinion.

Hi Gutbucket and welcome to UHH!! Just to give you a head's up, Kim takes great shots of cars (usually daily much to my pleasure) and shows them here on the forum. I'm sure he wishes he owned all (or most) of the cars that he shoots, but unless he has a "Jay Leno bankroll" he's just the shooter. Crown Vic's were outstanding vehicles. You have good taste in cars. Once again, welcome. Ray

In my book, it's the last really good looking full-sized Ford. They did make some really sharp looking Mustangs. Good work.
I’d take a 1961 Starliner.

The retractable hard top was quite an invention but I understand it was prone to leaks when it rained so the model did not last long. There are manufacturers making retractable hardtops again but not too many.
