    If the Panthers ever made a comeback, regulations and market changes have made sure it would never be a sedan again. They were body on frame, rear wheel drive, and shared their drivetrains with trucks and vans, they are more of a 'truck' than all these front wheel drive, unibody 'SUVs'. Chrysler claimed the PT Cruiser was a 'light truck', I don't see why Ford couldn't lie about this.

I have a 1994 F-250 with the chrome bumpers front and back, it's an extended cab, and One of those little Smart Cars slammed into me at 35 mph in the right side of my rear bumper. My bumper had a small dent in it as in it was bent slightly up at an angle and he was so far under the bed of my truck, that it literally was sitting on his lap. Luckily the guy was not hurt but it did take some time to get his ass out of the vehicle lol.

    I like the redesign. Too bad the overall design of the car (full frame, etc) would have to given up and take away some of the tuff car feel that the old one had. The look itself is one it would drive. BTY I live in the area where the Crown Vic was built (Talbotville, ON ) and have meet a some of the line workers. The factory that built the car is no more. It was taken down a few years ago. When it was up and running it was nice seeing the newly built cars on the lot ready to going to there final places.

    looks great. if you allow me a suggestion, I think working a bit more on the side view of the car would bring your redesigns one step higher. in this case, for example, I believe the side windows could have been extended in a way we don't have that body colored frame around it. anyways, I always enjoy these videos! please redesign the jaguar xj229

    I'm new to the channel, have you done a Mercury Marauder yet? If not, please restyle it, but in blue, like my dad's (it is the rarest factory color for the car).
