thanks for the input Perna, I always buy the CR auto anual, good source of info at a glance. You may want to hold on to Grand Marguis number 3. Ford is phasing out the "panther" cars. The Crown Vic and the Lincoln town car were relegated to fleet only sales this year. The Grand Marguis may go as well. As I understand it the "New" Tauras nee' Five Hundred and "New" Sable nee' Montego both have bigger interiors and larger trunks that the Panthers and they will ultimately replace them in their respective brands.

Thanks again, luckly for you the old school tech in your car will be very inexpensive to repair and maintain for a long time.
