Johnny Lightning 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria

Did you ever wonder what the origins of the Ford Crown Vic were?  Did you think it was always synonymous with the police car?   Actually, the Crown Victoria name was first used by Ford in 1955 for a very nice edition of the Ford Fairlane.  It was revived in 1980 for the Ford LTD.

This Johnny Lightning show the 1955 version in all its glory!  Once upon a time, it was a handsome sedan used to chauffeur someone other than tattooed guys in wife-beater T-shirts who drink to much and need to go to jail.
