Police envy Nathan Jones The first day after Nathan Jones got his 1999 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor wrapped and decals done, he went for a drive. “I ended up going through a police checkpoint and the officer said to me “do you wanna swap cop cars?” I said “Hell no!” The Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, colloquially referred to simply as the CVPI, P71, P7B, is a four-door body-on-frame sedan
that was manufactured by Ford from 1992 to 2011, according to Wikipedia. “It is the law enforcement version of the Ford Crown Victoria. From 1997 to 2011, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor was the most widely used automobile in law enforcement operations in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. They were also used for this purpose on a more limited scale in
other countries.” There are not many of the model in New Zealand and Nathan asked a mate to find him one, with success 18 months ago. “I named my Crown Victoria Bernie after my late mother-in-law who passed away in 2018.” Nathan’s car comes with lights, siren, hard plastic seats and a mean push bar.”
