Yes, and there are other reasons also, some of which go hand in hand with your recession theorey.
The 1973 to 1974 drop was due to the oil embargo, widely credited as the event that ultimately killed the full-size car.
The 1979 to 1980 drop was due to the second gas crisis, another huge blow to the full-size car industry. And I suppose the 1980 to 1981 drop is just a furthering of that same event.
The 1991 to 1992 drop was probably a combanation of the poor economy and the fact that for 1991 the Caprice was redesigned and therefore everyone who wanted a new one bought them up right at their release.
And I suppose the 2001-2002 drop was partly due to the recession, although Crown Victoria sales had been steadily decreasing anyway.
Good observation though, hadn't thought of that
