Most likely yes , the engine thermostat has failed in the open position - happened on my 1995 Ford Explorer even though I have always had the cooling system serviced

If your dashboard gauge is ok and the needle is moving when the engine start to warm up but never attempt the middle you have to check the thermostat as follow: you start the cold engine and carefully you keep your hand on the hose which transfer the cooling fluid from engine to radiator. If immediatelly after starting the engine the hot water goes through the hose, is 100% shure that thermostat is blocked open and needs to be replaced. A blocked thermostat in the position closed will cause more damaged because the engine will be overheated and the headgasket will be "burned".

Where is the thermostat in a 1987 ford Crown Victoria?
I assume you are talking about the engine thermostat. Looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle, look for the water pump where all the black cooling lines come together (will be on the front of the engine, almost at the top). There will be a small bypass hose about 6 inches long that runs from one side of a small dome housing to the other. Inside that dome housing is the thermostat.

Your problem lies in not having a thermostat installed. Without a thermostat, the engine takes longer to reach normal operating temperature. Hence, why it runs sluggish for the first half mile or so.
