According to Law and Order magazine, those who thought the defender of the old guard — the Panther platform'd, body-on-frame Ford Crown Victoria — was on its way into mothballs should think another think. A slightly freshened Vicky is reportedly in the works for 2009. That's bad news for Dodge, which is making a major play for the police market with its Charger cruiser, but good news for the boys in blue who don't want to give up their CVPIs (Crown Victoria Police Interceptors) and for those Fordies who hang around the auctions waving fistfuls of sawbucks.
