A man was taken to the hospital Friday evening after crashing his car into a West End business. At about 5:20 p.m., a man was driving a 1975 Ford LTD on Grand Avenue, turned into the Radio Shack parking lot at 1903 Grand Ave. and drove the car into th ...

The Fox-based '84 Ford LTD really did handle pretty well… if you checked the boxes for all the suspension options that came on the cop version when you bought one, that is, and for some reason that bit of info doesn't get much play in this ad. This ad would have been far more entertaining had Mr. Bondurant taken the base version out for some door-handle-scraping racetrack action. Why, some madmen...

* Know what's worse than some little binky in a humongous SUV with a cell phone stuck to the side of her head?

Fer shit's sake...I'm bettin he can't drive worth a fuck without the distraction of a...

ALLENTOWN - On days when the weather cooperates, when it's not too hot and not too cold, you are likely to find Stephen Tordy working on his car: a chocolate-brown 1973 Ford LTD.

We've only seen a couple of Lincolns in this series (a '69 and a '77 ), and with ten Cadillacs so far, it's time to look at another of Ford's big luxo-machines. I found this '72 parked on the same block as the '70 Volvo 164 and the '87 BMW L6 . I shot this car and the '70 Ford LTD on the same rainy day. Rain might be bad for the camera, but it makes old cars look more serious . This one is missing...

Sometimes a badge just isn't enough of a name for a car-- especially now that automakers have fallen head-over-heels in love with alphanumerics . Hey kids! Let's all jump in the MKZ! So, how's you're G35x? Mine's the LS 600hL. Growing up, our family car was a 1978 Ford LTD Country Squire. I mean, how American is that? Not very. But at least it was aspirational. (Flex? Flex what') As an homage to its...

Now, we can't say for sure what sort of transaction was captured on film by the Google Street View photography vehicle; perhaps the Illinois gentleman with the roll of bills is negotiating for the purchase of an 80s Ford LTD. Whatever it is, we're seeing free enterprise in glorious effect here. Take that, Commies! Thanks to LTDScott aka Porcubimmer_4_Lyfe for the tip! [Google Maps]

You see how obsessed dedicated I am to shooting Alameda street-parked cars for this series? Even in the midst of a rainstorm howling in off the Pacific, I'm busting out the camera when I spot a cool car parked on Alameda's busy main drag! And it was worth it in this case, because nothing makes a beater LTD look tougher than rainwater pouring in past all the bad weatherstripping. We've already seen...

I ran across this hoontastic autocrossing '89 Ford LTD Country Squire wagon over on CrownVic.net the other day and, after LTDScott mentioned it yesterday, it seemed like a good time to share it with the wagon-loving readers of Jalopnik. Most of us don't think "Ford station wagon" when we think of handlin' machines, but that might change after viewing the video of the Family Truckster. It's just a...

Ford Motor Co. dealers will no longer sell the Crown Victoria to customers at retail. Fewer than eighty 2007 Crown Victorias remain on dealer lots nationwide now, and there are no plans to deliver 2008 versions of the vehicle to dealers, Ford's top sales analyst, George Pipas, told the Free Press.

As we all saw yesterday , a Wankelated Hillman Minx stomps Grandma's '71 Ford LTD in the Project Car Hell competition, with close to a 75/25 pro- (or anti-, depending on how you define the term "Project Car Hell") Minx split in the voting. Today's PCH contestants should be a bit more evenly matched in the Hell department, as we go for a couple of Axis Specials... From Team Japan, we have this 1969...

Some of the more observant readers noticed the old Pontiac in the background when the DOTS car was the '70 Ford LTD , a couple weeks back. Well, here's that Pontiac, a beater '75 Grand LeMans . Parked on the Estuary waterfront (just around the corner from the Econoline pickup ), this car isn't just rough around the edges. It's rough all the way through . But still, it looks pretty good. Carrie Fisher's...
