In Popular Culture
As a consequence of its popularity from the 1996 discontinuation of the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1, the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor is one of the most common police vehicles depicted in contemporary North American films and television. The Crown Victoria is seen extensively in popular culture as the main police vehicle of the United States, but in following with real-life police departments, crime dramas (such as Hawaii Five-0) are now using replacements such as the Chevrolet Impala 9C1/9C3, Dodge Charger, and Ford Taurus Police Interceptor Sedan.

Famous quotes containing the words popular culture, popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
