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.
