Absolutely, its amazing what even cheap snow tires can do.
The problem in something like a Crown Vic is the power to weight ratio is not
in your favor for snow driving, thats going to make it tail happy.
As far as I'm concerned a 240D manual trans with good snow tires is the perfect
snow
Then they either were not good winter tires or you needed some weight in
the trunk.
Front heavy vehicles are sometimes not so wonderful in snow. I had a
short box Chevy pickup that would not back out of our driveway unless
there was some weight in the box.
Current ice radials generally work
I see a USN battle lantern in the pix. Worst flashlight ever. Conversation
piece more than anything else.
The Sony HDTV is pretty cheap, but don't need one at the moment.

Not in this case.
Even with snow tires it couldn’t climb my sloped driveway if there was snow on
it.

I had a 2002 Crown Vic for a company car. It was a boat and really lousy in the

drive. Very comfy, too.

Lousy in the snow was likely a matter of the tires as much

I like the Grand Marquis and Crown Victoria but I would want the 2011
which I believe is the last year they were made. I had one of each as
rental cars back when they were new and they were nice cars.

I bought the 78 300CD from one of their sales, they had it listed for

selling all the house trinkets, she was having no discussion of reality,
thought it was like some super Ferrari or something. At the end of the
