achiu31 ◊ 2010-09-21 16:37	Makes me wonder, does any police force use the Grand Marquis as a squad car?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2010-09-21 19:07	2006+ model. The Grand Marquis is not used as a marked police car by any major agency that I know of, although they aren't uncommon in service as unmarked detective vehicles.
APS221 ◊ 2010-09-21 22:38	First, the font/die used on the license plate is incorrect. The most obvious is the open 4, which like 4s used on California plates. Second, I think the production company might be having a hard time finding Panther platform cars in Hawaii to use as police cars. I don't know if Hawaii has any picture car companies with a parking lot full of Crown Victorias like in Los Angeles. In the "Lost" episode "Recon" (Ep. 6.08), James "Sawyer" Ford drives an unmarked Grand Marquis as a detective. Most of the Crown Victoria's used in "Lost," which was shot in Hawaii, were over 10 years old.
14stutz ◊ 2010-09-22 05:35	Aside from no one using Mercury as marked police cars...I was left wondering why they were in a Honolulu Poice car when they're with the state and not Honolulu police? It's just a show...

Kwuss ◊ 2024-03-09 00:46	I uploaded additional images of the Grand Marquis from the first episode along with a promotional photo. Interestingly enough I forgot to mention the Marquis(98-10) were approved vehicles for the Honolulu Police Department's subsidized(personal) patrol vehicle program such as this one.

Kwuss ◊ 2025-03-13 11:43	Seen in episode 1x11 as fake marked Kauai Police Department patrol vehicles. Here’s two images displaying the real Kauai Police graphics used at the time of episode 1x11 seen on the Grand Marquis used on a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. -- Last edit: 2025-03-16 01:12:54

Being from Hawaii most production companies use rental vehicles as prop vehicles. As it is difficult to obtain vehicles for production projects. In certain film/tv productions real or former emergency vehicles were used as background vehicles.
