The first “Crown Victoria” appeared in 1955. Ford Crown Victoria Skyliner was a two-door six-seater coupe, part of the Ford Fairlane range, that differed from the regular Victoria model (named after a type of carriage) by having a stainless steel band that ‘crowned’ the roofline, passing right over the car, as an extension of the B-pillar line.
