UPDATE:

All police-package Chargers, Tauruses, and our one Intrepid now have "Police Package" written in the extra information section with quotation marks.

Yes '92 was the last year for the L. It was discontinued starting in '93.

I meant different trims throughout it's "life span"(the changeover from L to GL). By the way, I thought that 1992 was the last year for the L. At least that's what jj_john_johnny has always said.

What do you mean different trims? The reason why the '94 is badged as a GL was because Ford discontinued the L trim in '93. GL was the lowest trim from '94 to '95.
ford_guy
So that pretty much solves it then. Since even the police package Tauruses had different trims (for whatever odd reason) then they should be listed also.

The factory brochures (for civilian models) do not list the police package:

The police/fleet models came with a special owner's manual also:

This '94 has GL trim on the body-side molding:

This article says that it is a Taurus L with a special options package:

It would really be helpful to have a factory brochure for one of them... :think:

But weren't those Tauruses given trim names also? The issue about police-package Tauruses having come with trim or not is something I am not familiar with and by bringing it up here I'm actually asking about it. I'm not claiming it as fact. So understand my view that if I find a picture of a police-package Taurus that says "L" on the door (the link I provided earlier from the Blues Brothers 2000), then I question why it shouldn't be inputed in the extra info field as well. Who knows, maybe for some dumb idea Ford decided to add a trim name to those Tauruses.
taxiguy
Sounds good to me, but to answer your doubt, trim levels certainly do not belong in there. I am very surprised you of all people would even consider that... I mean the point of a police package is to be a speical model in and of itself, it IS the trim level. After all you don't list Crown Victoria police models as "Standard" or "LX" so you wouldn't do that for any other cars either. A police package Taurus is not a "GL" or "L", it is simply a "Police Package".
ford_guy
Hmm you never did reply back taxiguy. Anyhow, I also wanted to say that at least with the Charger and the Taurus, maybe I could put in 'Police Package' in the extra info field with paranthesis. That would seem like a nice compromise. Heck, I could even do it with the one police-package Intrepid we have listed.
