I think it was the media's reporting of Ford's "new look" that poked the critics pens. I had no objection to the "look" other than the reduced visibility through the rear quarter panels. I know the government and local municipalities bought a lot of them. It was the only kind for King County, who kept them way too long. Any vehicle used by a variety of people for short trips every day, including weekends, can be maintained, but appearance wise they get pretty ragtag, inside and out. The Police used the big cars, the rest of us had to use the Taurus and the smaller whatsit version. Cleaned up and repainted, the Interceptors were selling from between $3000 (Patrol cars) $5000 (detectives and CID) up to $7000 for those assigned to the brass with low mileage and no bondo.
