Some of you may have read my year in review for my 93 Crown Victoria, if not take a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I had the chance to revisit a historical landmark today and take more pictures.
In that review, I had hastily taken some shots in the driveway of Thomas Jeffersons Summer home, Poplar Forest.
So after I ate some lunch I was admiring the foggy weather Lynchburg had to offer today and went back and was able to take my time before a service pickup came barreling down the one-way road.

I didn’t like that gen relative to the late 90s ones back in the day, but I think it’s aged quite well. It also helps that there aren’t as many similarly styled Escorts and Tempos around anymore to dilute the look.

The 90’s only saw two gen of Vic. I’m assuming by late 90’s you mean the 99-2012 ones ?
I agree with it aging well, I had an early 90’s Taurus and was turned from this gen CVand tempo until recently.

Yep, I was referring to the ‘98-’12 ones. Since I started really paying attention to car styling around ‘97ish, I was really fond of the new corporate look that was sort of metastasizing from the ‘93 Ranger to the whole Ford lineup. I’m not as strongly opinionated on it now as 12 year old me was. The later grills on your gen also look better than the earlier ones.

Ah, gotcha that makes sense. Yea I personally think that I have the best iteration of this generation with the grille and the slim Taurus like tail lamps. They later went to a very ugly looking trunk wide tail lamp design that I'm not fond of.
