The Ford LTD Crown Victoria was a full-size rear-wheel drive sedan. When introduced in 1983, two model ranges were available: the base model and a lower-priced S version. Both ranges came standard with the CFI V-8 engine, an AOD automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, power front disc brakes, full carpeting, full wheel covers, full courtesy lighting, the landau-style padded vinyl roof with targa trim band and bumper guards. The base model added a reclining cloth bench seat and AM/FM stereo radio. The budget “S” model was comparable to the former base LTD series, and as such had such features as a vinyl bench seat, AM radio stereo radios were available at extra cost and lower-grade carpeting. The landau vinyl roof was deleted a full, non-padded vinyl roof was available at extra cost. Several other items were deleted such as several of the courtesy lights. The S model was the designated fleet model, although a budget-conscious private customer could also order this version.
