Detroit Iron in Moscow (DIM) is a series of posts where I do a bit of car spotting and photograph "Detroit iron" in Moscow -- i.e. full-size American automobiles that I see on Moscow streets, lanes but most often in the back yards of Moscow apartment houses for some reason.
From one of those back yards not far from my own place comes today's subject -- a Ford Crown Victoria.
I approached it stealthily from behind (Panther!) on a sunny August day.
In fact the sunny conditions interfered with my mobile phone photography.
But there is no mistaking it from this view anyway.
Ford Crown Victoria 1st Generation 1992-94 in kinda tan. No idea what the trim is. Probably the cheapest.
It's long...
In fact in the picture below -- strictly from the front -- it looks like it is a (sub-)compact car... which obviously it is not. However being narrow is a bonus on narrow back yardie streets of Moscow.
Look, no-grille front fascia! Me, I like the no-grille of the early 90s much better than the ugly grilles that most cars have these days, as ugly as they are fake for the most part.
Which reminds me... of this - LADA 2115 -14, -13
Two weeks after I made the above photos I happened to pass by again and made some photos this time using not my mobile phone but a camera so the photos should be marginally better.
