The Mainline, still the base model, available in 2 and 4 door Sedan.
The Customline still the mid spec, also available in 2 and 4 door Sedan, more chrome and better interior trim.
The Fairlane was now the top, replacing the Crestline.
Post cars were the 4 door Town Sedan and the 2 door Club Sedan, the Sunliner was the convertible, the 2 door Club Victoria was pillarless Coupe, the Crown Victoria Coupe had a chrome band up the B pillar and across the roof, the 'Skyliner' option came with an acrylic roof in front of the chrome band.
Wagons were the 2 door Ranch Sedan, 4 door Country Sedan and 4 door Country Squire (wood panelling)
