Ford stopped making the Crown Victoria in 2011, since they made a law for mpg, it made it illegal to sell in the U.S for the 2012 model. The final cars were sent to the Middle East.

You may be able to find an earlier model, since all 98-2011 Crown Vics look the same.

Edit: I can't find a BPD car for IV, but I many many GTA SA models.

Really? I thought the reason was because of low sales to civilians when their factory in St. Thomas was capable of producing 250,000 vehicles a year while they only produced 80,000 and the fact they wanted to promote the Taurus model instead. I never heard about a law banning low MPG vehicles. Edited by BoomCBS

actually, I heard the cancelling of the Vic was due to the fact that with each new model the power was less and less, and the sales to police dept dropped

Yeah, generally it was about low sales therefore the factory was not making enough profit to stay open not because of a law regarding MPG. Also what do you mean by the power was less? Edited by BoomCBS

As you can see, the power was upgraded over the years. That wasn't the issue. The issue was with Obama making a law for gas mileage, and the FCV got 14 MPG in the city, and 20 MPG on the highway.

Obama's law stated that all cars needed to get 15MPG in the city, if I remember correctly.

jus saying thats what i've been hearing

also, the low sales to civs is because they moved the CVPI to FLEET meaning you need a large order of cars

Also there are just general popularity issues that led to the moving of the car to 'fleet' status which in part caused its demise. The large body sedans aren't as attractive anymore for general use, they get poor gas mileage (although I'm sure Ford could have fixed that if they tried) and they're not really all that attractive unless you're old and can't afford a Cadillac with your retirement money, or you have a hard on for cop cars like some of us do. Power definitely wasn't the issue.

As far as the Boston/Massachusetts skins go, I think I have a beta version that someone was making saved on my hard drive, I'll have to look for it. When I downloaded it and looked in, the textures were low quality, but the colors were spot on. If I put in the time I could probably fix them and re-release them with higher quality badges & insignias.

And before anybody is going to say something about the lights that the Boston P.D. uses: I live 20 minutes away from Boston now, and depending on the age of the cruisers, they might have LED's, the might have halogens, they might have a combo of both. Boston is a big city, and while they have reasonably good funding, it has to go to a lot of places, so the police force will recycle and improvise with their cruisers if it can buy them a few more years.

The pack I have has both Massachusetts State Police and Boston P.D. I'll edit this post with the link if I find it, give me a few minutes.

*EDIT*

Turns out I have two .RAR files. One of them is a mixture of State and City. Textures are okay quality, colors are way off (Boston PD is too bright, State colors are completely wrong). The second is the other one I was thinking of, with horrible textures. I can link both of them, but I apparently have to make a MediaFire account. I am uploading these files "as-is". If there are no credits or junk in them, I don't care. Not my responsibility because I didn't originally distribute them. The textures are also representations of legitimate police departments and are not intellectual property that anybody created from scratch, so don't harrass me about any of that crap.

Also, glad to meet you 'GameOverYouSuck'. Shame about the Celtics getting knocked out of the finals and such.

Looks pretty good, but the lighting pattern onr the car is supposed to be all blue. Do you have a link for the skin and know who made it?
