I've heard the Crown Vic / Grand Marquis / Marauder / Town Car vehicles referred to as 'Panthers.'

I've heard Crown Vics referred to as a 'Whale' also.

So is a Marauder a whale?

Curious minds want to know!

Well it does tend to make a splash whenever it appears, and people ogle it and take pictures. Whale sounds good to me. :beer:

The Marauder shares the "panther" platform (Ford factory terminology), with Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis since 1979.

The term whale is applied only to DTR's I do believe, as in "Red whales in the sunset", since they are the slowest. The rest of the Marauders are known as street sharks. I read this somewhere.

Pat, I do believe that is; "Dead whale on beach rotting in sun."

I certainly wouldn't classify the Marauder as a "whale". It certainly doesn't handle like one unless maybe you are thinking of an Orca -- Killer Whale. ;)

I know what you mean. When it comes right down to it, there's still no substitute for cubic inches.... (i.e. size DOES matter ;))
