My impression is that this is a higher spec car made to look like a cheaper police car with the hubcaps (it looks like one of the hubcaps has come off to reveal an alloy in the second thumbnail).

Yup: Single exhaust, keyless entry keypad, and the badge on the trunk lid looks like it says CROWN VICTORIA LX.

LX wheel in the second thumb makes this a 2003 (at the time) LX [P74] model.

The main car and most of the thumbnails show a 1998-2002 base model. The second thumbnail that rts is referring to is the 2003 model.

No, all of the cars are the 2003 LX model. The wiper arms are the ones that were made for the 2003+ refresh and the 1998-2002 fleet hubcaps don't fit the wheels as they should (they should be more inset than bulging out.)

I see what you're saying and I won't necessarily disagree but there are some other inconsistencies. If this really is a 2003+ LX model, then it's going to have to be a 2004 model since the 2003s were the last to have black b-pillars and body-colored side mirrors. However, the car appears to have the 1998-2002 headrests (smaller) and most glaringly of all, the 2003+ models don't have amber rear lenses on the bottom portion of the taillights. This car does.

It's weird how the 2003+ LX wheels fit the 1998-2002 models considering the disc brakes and bolts were changed starting in the 2003 model year. This episode aired in June 2003, so it could be a early 2004 model.

That still doesn't explain the taillights but I'll change it to a 2004.

@Ford Guy here's two genuine police Crown Vics in need of a date:

MY 2004 production started July 28, 2003; there's no way any of them are '04s.

Late 2002 model then? Those LX wheels don't fit 1998-2002 models and I have seen 2003 spec models with 2002 build dates and vins.

More likely late 2003; the B pillar is body colored.

When did the electrochromic mirror (with the curved bottom) come in? Does that refine the year range here?

I think that started with the 1998 redesign. Generally, the second thumbnail with the exposed front wheel (hubcap fell off?) and the wiper blades/arms means it's a 2003+ LX model (I assume the 1998-2002 base/police wheel covers were installed to make it look more police like)

So you can fit a 98-02 hubcap on a 03+ model. Noice

Indeed 2003.5.
