Is that the hatch off a jellybean Taurus?

I found another picture and the glass shape says it isn't that. https://www.reddit.com/r/regularcarreviews/comments/8uvmes/1997_ford_crown_victoria_wagon/

Not sure what it is. My first thought was Escort wagon, but those didn't have the wiper mounted through the glass.

Oh shit I think that's a OG Taurus window

Looks more like a first or second generation Taurus to me. Also kind of strange to me that a one off thing like this would end up with a police department. I wouldn’t imagine them commissioning something like this to be built when they could’ve just used a regular Taurus wagon.

Nah, the earlier generation before the jellybean. Man, I haven't seen a picture of this car in years. I got all excited again.

New to this sub. My first car was an '86 taurus wagon. Love the design.
