00:00 What comes to mind when you think of this car?
00:03 I mean, beyond the obvious.
00:05 The police cars, the taxi cabs, the grandpa cars.
00:08 What do you see beyond that?
00:11 It's mystical to me.
00:13 It's a few threads, not many left.
00:16 Dangling, yet they're still there.
00:19 Everywhere.
00:20 And barely there, if that makes any sense.
00:23 But it's like a reminder of what was.
00:26 What still is.
00:27 And what may or may not be.
00:30 You see, this vehicle, this platform, is still in use.
00:35 Fleet vehicles, it's still in use with taxi cabs,
00:38 it's still in use with law enforcement,
00:40 and it's still in use in the used market as well.
00:43 The deeper I go down this rabbit hole of the Ford Panther platform,
00:47 Crown Vicks, Grand Marquis, Lincoln Town Cars, Marauders, etc.
00:51 The more nuggets I find along the way that expose just how wonderful this vehicle is on so many different levels.
00:59 So I want to really explore that.
01:01 Not only the enthusiasts themselves, but the philosophical side as well.
01:05 Globalization, culture wars between gas and electric,
01:10 North American manufacturing,
01:12 the last of the body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive, V8, 4-door American sedans,
01:18 and the Canadian connection as well.
01:20 I love it. Iconic as fuck.
01:23 All of these things and more we must explore.
