6.) The last Ford Crown Victoria was built

Suggested By: Lothar34

Why it's important: The last representative of what was once America's automotive standard, the body-on-frame full-size sedan, ended its astounding 32-year production run. The Crown Vic was the country's last great body-on-frame rear-drive V8-powered sedan. No tall-boy crossover or SUV can truly take its place of a simple, durable, great vehicle.
