The ’93 still serves as the daily livery for my two high school students.Īnd now, after a (not so) long and (semi) arduous search, I have handed a full-fledged case of Panther Love to the third generation. We have owned 19 Crown Victorias, each bought new by my mother and then purchased later by me. Since 1985, the Panther Love has run through the family driveways, as well. My sister and I were (Fort Wayne) Snider Panthers.
In high school, my mother was a Paulding (Ohio) Panther. We just can’t get away from Panthers in this family. And I must admit, both in the abstract and with this particular example, this was a very, very good car. And there was no reason for another of these to grace my driveway, until my son Jimmy got the bug to adopt one as his first car. It was never supposed to survive to the end of the 1980s, let alone thrive for another twenty years beyond. The Panther-platform Grand Marquis (and Crown Victoria) is/was an accidental car on so many levels.
