About.Our mission is to collect, restore, preserve, and exhibit Crown Victoria police vehicles, and the like, as they were during law enforcement service, for the education and enjoyment of all. The Museum is run by active and retired law enforcement members. At this time, the Museum is not open to the public: vehicles are instead brought out for display at shows and events. The Museum is based in California, in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization - all donations are tax deductible. BOARD MEMBERS: President: Clark Vineyard, current Detective Sergeant Secretary: Chuck Witt, retired Corporal Treasurer: Daniel Thompson, current patrol Corporal |
Established in 2023Although the Ford Crown Victoria name made a brief debut as a trim option in 1955, the name reappeared in 1980 as a distinct full size line: The Ford LTD Crown Victoria, which included police package options. This hard working car proved its worth in the streets of America, until being rebranded in 1992 as the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, throughout the rest of its US production until 2011. These cars became instantly recognizable symbols of law and order. Seeing the difficulties others had trying to restore vintage police cars and watching these beloved cars rapidly retiring from service, the Crown Victoria Museum was founded in 2023 to restore and preserve these future classics while they are still available.

The CarsThe Crown Victorias in the Museum's collection are all retired police vehicles that have been donated intact from police agencies across the country, or painstakingly restored back to their original agency patrol specs. The Museum is currently soliciting intact patrol car donations from law enforcement agencies that still have in-service Crown Victorias, whenever the cars are retired. Museum vehicles are stored in a secure, private 2,400 sq ft warehouse.
