The car has an open differential in the back. When one wheel starts to slip, the differential sends all the power to that one wheel rather than both equally. Some people call this a "one legger" or "one wheel peel". You may have heard of a limited slip differential, they make sure both tires get power even when one starts to spin. But those crown vics had open difs, my friend had one and it did the same thing. There isnt an issue with the car.

For the best explanation on this see the movie "My Cousin Vinnie".

Many cars and trucks back in the stone age were "One Wheel Wonders".
