Obviously this one was still around in the 80's.

I think it is 74-75. I seem to recall that the early Matador's like the one on Adam-12 had "Matador" in a cursive type of name plate. The name plate on the station is more of a print. Plus, the front bumper is further away from the body of the car. The Adam-12 Matador bumper seemed to blend in better with the body.

Truth is, Ford did infact have the Crown vic back then. Ford used that name on various models up to '56, dropped it, and then re-introduced it in '79. At that time you had a choice of trim options which included the base LTD, LTD Landau and the luxury LTD Crown Victoria. The LTD name was dropped after 1991.

I'm sure he probably meant that the Crown Victoria trim level of the LTD was not used as a police car in the late 70s/early 80s when this photo was taken.

Hey Thad, why can't the Ford next to it be a 1979-1980 LTD? They didn't have Crown Victorias back then. They were badged LTD.

Iam pretty sure that this AMC wagon is a 1974 model parked next to it is probably a 1984 or 1985 ford crown victoria.
