Short for Ford Crown Victoria, the full-size American sedan produced from 1992 to 2012 that became iconic as a police cruiser and taxi cab. 'Crown Vic' is the casual everyday name for the vehicle, loaded with associations — flashing lights in your rearview mirror, the creak of a yellow cab, or the nostalgic sight of a retired cop car haunting a rural county road. The model was discontinued but its cultural weight lives on.
The unmarked Crown Vic pulled up behind him at the red light and his stomach immediately dropped.
