Can anyone confirm if there was a year where certain P71's or "straight to taxicabs" Crown Vic's came in a Long wheelbase model? I keep hearing this and so when I went to my local Ford dealer looking for OEM floor mats they asked me if I had the LWB version. I said I didnt think so. Anyone have a pic of one?

the different floormats would only make a difference in the back seat. you would be able to tell by the larger rear doors.

LWB Vics have a separate model code. "P70" Its P70 even if it has a police package. http://moldyrabbit.com/liquid/p7x.htmlIf yours is a P71 its not a LWB CV. P70s are available 2002 and up.

this is from wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt Long-wheelbase commercial version
In 2002, Ford introduced a long-wheelbase version of the Crown Victoria, available only to commercial fleets (mostly used by taxi companies). This version gives 6 extra inches of wheelbase length, made possible by a new frame and extended body. This version is not available to the general public, nor is there a stretched version of the Police Interceptor although there was a special service version available for the Police Market from 2002-2006 and it also had a street appearance trim option from 2002-2004, due to its targeted use mostly in the taxi and livery market. In the Middle East, long-wheelbase versions of both the Mercury Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria are available to the general public. edit- few minutes to slow

Standard Crown Vics have amazingly little rear seat legroom. How do cops even fit big people into the back of a car with a cage?

How do cops even fit big people into the back of a car with a cage? i was put in the back of a police CV with a cage once, there is very little room, i had trouble getting my legs in and out. a little side note, i was not arrested, i was being questioned about an event, not in any trouble.

Nowadays, the police remove the factory back seat and use a plastic setup.

i was in the back, no cuffs or anything just getting a ride to the station to fill out paperwork. im 6-3or4 275 and even dough it was a little hard getting in and out, it was actually really comfortable. might not be a bad idea since i dont think you want the guy to have too much room back there kicking the back of your cage lol.

LWB taxi:  Standard Crown Vics have amazingly little rear seat legroom. How do cops even fit big people into the back of a car with a cage? sideways if you think the back of a CV is small you should see the back of a charger+partition.
