Vehicle History
Produced from 1998 to 2007 for civilian use, and until 2011 for fleet use, the second generation Ford Crown Victoria is a full-size car offered in a 4 door body style. Taking styling cues from its cousin, the Mercury Grand Marquis and built on the same platform, the Crown Victoria adopted a more conservative design with improved rear suspension for passenger comfort for a smooth and supple ride.
A retool of the 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Police Car, the Matchbox 2006 Ford Crown Victoria Taxi was originally released for the 2009 mainline in yellow with Black and White Taxi tampos. It has a number of MB689 and originally was in production from 2009 to 2013 when it was discontinued. It returned to the mainline in 2015, albeit retooled for easier assembly. The white TAXI sign on the top, a removable piece was replaced by a smaller taxi sign, becoming part of the window assembly. The interior and base were also revised with an updated copyright year of 2015. This vehicle has a new number of MB609 and resumed production ever since.
