I expect all the other drivers in your vicinity will be on their best behaviour when you're rolling in that. ;)

Long ago, I drove a modded LTD LX ex-DPS vehicle, (one of my few Moredoor vehicles). I had to quit because the local constabulary kept getting complaints of some "officer" drag racing his cruiser on the island's impromptu drag strip.

seems these things are good for more than Slick front end swaps

I second your opinion of this car Greg.
Quiet, smooth. luxurious even in cop-trim but an absolute highway monster. 70 mph to 110 with 0 effort.
I am pulling 19.75 MPG regularly. Mostly highway without babying it. Not great but better than the 14mpg I was getting from the Cherokee.

I found a Grand Marquis in the yard and I have been pulling little stuff off that I am missing. I also grabbed the auto dimming mirror

The best stuff was the under hood trim and trunk carpet


Insulation from the marq's hood.

and the cowl cover I was missing:

After

grabbed it's trunk carpet and gave it a scrub. Mine was stained with what I think was milk

after

gave it a bath and snapped a pic

I painted the grill bezel too.
Someday I'll get another slick :(
