10 Cars that Refuse to Die
by David Muhlbaum Friday, July 23, 2010
1992-2007 Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Marquis

If these can handle police pursuit and taxi duty, they can handle you. Even though the civilian versions lack some endurance-building parts like oil coolers and stronger suspensions, the core components of the Great American Sedan are all there: V-8 engine, solid rear axle, body-on-frame construction.

The Chevy Caprice held this niche as well until the mid-1990s when GM decided to turn its production facility over to big SUVs.

Apparently no one told Mr. Muhlbaum that the Panther chassis is on death-watch...
