why the most American? well, for one thing it was designed exclusively to be a cop car. in fact it would have been the first car built exclusively for that instead of just adapted for cop purposes pic.twitter.com/vzhOrqC9Ko

it was going to be the crown vic of the future - bulletproof front doors and dashboard, 360 degree video recording and license plate recognition. the seats were cutaway so you could wear a cop duty belt comfortably pic.twitter.com/ix6TvRdM7x
