1986 Ford Crown Victoria LX Station Wagon review from North America
"Family wants for nothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dual exhaust recently rusted out and had to be replaced from catalytic converters back.
Power locks don't work in rear doors.
Rust starting under rocker panels.
Bad oil leak from valve gaskets.
Fuel gauge is spotty.
General comments?
This is a great family car.
The engine has plenty of get-up-and-go, and enough room for three kids, two dogs and all the accompanying luggage.
We're nearing 240,000 miles and looking for another 1986 wagon to stablemate with this one.
