I'm doing some research and I have a number of car models and I can't identify them with their common names. Can anyone help?

Here they are:

Ford CVP 1995

Chevy CCL 1995

Ford SCS 1999

Buick PKA 1993

Toyota XLL 2002

Chevy TSD 4door 1994

Ford TSE 4door 2001

I'd like to be able to say, for instance "Ford Taurus" or "Chevy Cavalier" or something like that, if anyone can help me ID these cars.

Much obliged! (I'm not a car enthusiast, obviously, and my little grey 04 Corolla would impress no one, but she's a good girl.)

1995 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor
1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic
1999 Ford Escort
1993 Buick Park Avenue
2002 Toyota Corolla or Toyota Avalon XL
1994 Chevrolet ???
2001 Ford Taurus SE

FWIW, those aren't normal model name abbreviations. Where are you seeing these? Parts/service computer? Auction site?

Looks like auction abbreviations from the govt to me, especially with the crown vic, caprice, taurus, and the chevy I assume is a tahoe 4 dr.

That's great! Thanks so much!

The Chevy TSD is also listed in another place as a Chevy CSA, if that helps to identify it. It's blue, but I don't think that helps.

Yes, these are Ontario government abbreviations taken from collision reports and then retyped by someone who may or may not have retyped them correctly.
