What If: 1988 Grand Marquis Coupe

The other day my friend John Kreuz posted this car on his FB page. He’s a dedicated fan of the Panther platform, still has several to this day.

Anyway, for those in the know, the LTD Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis coupes ended production just before the 1988 ‘aero’ face-lift, which rounded the corners of these boxy full sizers. But the folks who still like these cars can get creative swapping different-vintage front and rear ends on their cars.

Which is what we have here. I’d be interested in seeing more pics of this, but John only had the single shot. Would it have sold? Highly unlikely. By the late ’80s full sized coupes were on the wane; the rival Caprice coupe also was gone after 1987, and the B body LeSabre and Delta 88 two doors were gone by ’85. But this is interesting!
