I cannot tell from that photo, but the car is from one of the latter years of the SSP program due to the standard aluminum wheels (as opposed to being blacked-out). Thanks for posting up that photo...

Could be a '91 or even a '90. Need the plate number and/or more views of the interior, lighting and other details to narrow it down a bit.

Yep, starting in '90 Ford used satin aluminum wheels instead of black. So this car could be a '90, '91, '92 or '93.

As Mac88 said, we'll need better pics to narrow down more.

Well..... the car sitting next to it on the driver side is a 1992 Ford Crown vic. The 2 just past that vehicle are 89-90 Caprices.

So... my guess is it's a 1991 very possibly a 1992 SSP.

Just a guess is all.

How can you tell it's a '92 CV?

1992 is the first year the CV went more aero dynamic. The 91 CV was still boxy.

I had a '91 and '93 as take-homes. Just trying to figure out how he narrowed it down.

Mike,

Being a retired CHP officer, and knowing that the offices usually kept a patrol car for about 2 - 3 years ( tops ) depending on the area office and miles driven of course, the 2 - 89 Caprices were older most likely almost run out units. That office is in the process of replacing the caprices with the new 92 CV's. ( going on 3 years if not 3 years for the caprices )

The 92 " newer " Ford CV tells me that the CV is a new unit to that office since they have 2 older units still in service in this photo.
The 90/91 CV LTD were boxy square pieces of junk. I hated them.

So, that tells me this photo was taken most likely in 1992. So that SSP is most likely a 91, a good possibly it's a 92. But I would bet it's a 91 SSP.
It could have came in at the same time the CV did replacing 2 units.

Just my guess and thoughts on the picture is all. I am not saying for sure I am correct. Just trying to answer Jason's question with a small amount of accuracy. lol

John
