From the previous models, Crown Victoria was dramatically restyled in 1998 by adopting the roof that was previously only used for the Mercury Grand Marquis. Powertrains were revised to make more power, and the rear suspension was tweaked to improve handling. With these exterior and engine modifications, the 1998 Crown Vic has obviously gained additional points for performance from the buyers. Even police departments use this model to suit and fit its rugged demands. The 1998 Crown Victoria has made a big leap in the line of previous Ford Crown Victorias. More powerful, enhanced styling, and advanced in performance.
