2003-2006. It can't be newer than that because since it's a real Toronto Police car, 2007+ models would have had their newer markings. |

What are those white lines on the trunk mounted reflector lamps, that flank the license plate area? Were those added by the police? |

They are reflective strips. It's not just the white, it's also the top portion (which is blue) and the bottom portion (which is red). You just can't really make out the colors too well because of how weird the shot is. Many law enforcement agencies now do this for extra protection towards the rear. The reflective strips come in many colors, but in this case the colors are red, white, and blue to match the colors on the rest of the car. ![[Image: toron322.7951.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is256/toron322.7951.jpg) In the thumbnail's case, it is a newer model with many more reflective strips on the rear. |

Ahh, I had not noticed that before. .gif ":)") But then I don’t stare at police cars at night ...  I like the "profile dots" (I don’t know the technical name for them) on the car in the thumbnail you gave. |

Hmm, I must have been thinking of the Grand Marquise ... Link to "www.cardata.com" The Crown Victoria, to the best of my knowledge didn’t have the trunk reflector lamps? At any point in the Grand Marquise's lifecycle did it have real lamps there? They were always reflector lamps, yes? |

No, that section of the current-generation Crown Victoria has always been body-colored or simply black for police cars/taxis. The 1993-1997 CV did have reflector lamps, first in the form of a strip then as an add-on to the standard tailights. And yes, they have always been reflector lamps on the Grand Marquises. |
