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.

“Popular culture entered my life as Shirley Temple, who was exactly my age and wrote a letter in the newspapers telling how her mother fixed spinach for her, with lots of butter.... I was impressed by Shirley Temple as a little girl my age who had power: she could write a piece for the newspapers and have it printed in her own handwriting.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“But popular rage,
Hysterica passio dragged this quarry down.
None shared our guilt; nor did we play a part
Upon a painted stage when we devoured his heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Sanity consists in not being subdued by your means. Fancy prices are paid for position, and for the culture of talent, but to the grand interests, superficial success is of no account.”
