I’ve seen this around town a few times, never managed to get a good pic, now it’s on Marketplace .
Seems like a clean old box, doesn’t look like the car has been modified to fit the wheels so it could be reverse, but I honestly don’t mind big wheels on these cars. I mean why not right?

Assuming it can go lock to lock and cross railroad tracks without rubbing I’d drive it.

For a car on 24 inch wheels, it’s surprisingly not-bad.

I hate this. But to be fair, I wouldn’t like it much better if it were on the factory wheels.

A family friend of ours when I was a kid had one of those, as a Mercury. The coupes musta been somewhat rare as I see the 4dr now and then but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen another one in the wild.
His had the extra long arm rests with ash trays and cig lighters in the back which he liked because his kids (about my age) could plug in their tape players on long trips.
In 1987 (I was 9) my parents borrowed it and took my sister and me and their kids (2) on a long trip.

They kinda fit perfectly. Any bigger and they’d be horrible.
That said I’d rather see it on 13” wires

The coupes really are uncommon. I’ve seen a few of the gen’s Town Coupes but never a Crown Victoria Coupe.

I’ve seen worse, but comfort is pretty much the whole point of a big landyacht, and bigger rims with no sidewalls pretty well defeats that purpose.

But won’t bigger diameter tires also roll over bumps better? Lol

I.
LOVE.
PANTHER.
COUPES.
Big’n’Slow Eh’s highly modded coupe is still a dream car for me. (He hung an ‘82 Merc coupe body on the interior/engine/frame of a...I wanna say a 2005 Crown Vic, which he either swapped the engine with a Marauder engine, or he bolted a blower to the 2005's modular to basically clone a Marauder engine. It was GORGEOUS. That almost gaudy yet classic end-of-land-yacht era coupe body over modern hardware. Thing was FAST, too.
