My Latest Project 1985 Lincoln Town Car
มุมมอง 2.7K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Hello everyone. Recently I purchased this 1985 Lincoln Town Car. This is one of my dream cars and is quite enjoyable. As with moth 30 year old cars its got some issues but another ting with 30 year old cars is its very easy to work on. I have done all the work myself (with the exception of the A/C). This car is what luxury buyers wanted in the 1980s. You won't find any giant screens or carbon f...

Tried my best at speed typing on this machine. It needs more cleaning I think as its somewhat sluggish.

This one needs a new ribbon. The one on it keeps breaking. New feet would be nice too.

Thanks for posting this video! I found a #3 at an antique store, and it was really helpful seeing an explanation of what all the levers and switches do. I was only able to figure some out from the manual, so I really appreciate it!
There's nothing wrong with your voice kid ,don't worry about it liked the vid👍
No, there is nothing wrong with it at all. I actually like my autistic voice quite a lot now actually.
My aunt gave me a 93 Lincoln 10 years ago with 79,000 miles but turned out to be a lemon always fixing something on it brakes seized up Steering box broke, gearshift broke, and 4 power windows quit working and had the replace motors and regulators. Engine was burning a lot of oil.
I am European born and live there but for me Lincoln Town Car is the best !!!
good stuff loved the vid bro
LOWRIDER BUILD ????
Great video, I love these cars too. I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 so there’s probably less than 500 of these in the whole country as they are too big for our roads but my family owned several of these cars in the early 2000’s and used them for weddings. Great for cruising around in and raised quite a few eye brows 👍 My favourite was a 94 which is the same as yours before the facelift. We used to hire them when we had holidays in the states too from Hertz. Great memories!
Wow, not much out there on the Densmore typewriters… so thanks for this intro…. But I still have lots of ??s! Do you know if there’s manuals out there? I just got a Model 4, and theres much that I can’t figure out yet…
bought a 1990 that was 5 years old kept it 12 years other than brakes, tires, rear bags/ shocks , hoses nothing ever went wrong in 180 miles. Yours is nicer shape now then mine was back then. things like the chrome trim around the dash had wore off etc. I bought a 97 signature touring that I love but ford really cut corners on things by 97 no engine cover and the handles on the back of the seats , lighter in the rear door , wood accent on steering wheel, lincoln logo on back seats and sound blocking insulation in doors and roof deleted. you chose the best year . Oh ,I was surprised how hard it is to find White wall tires now. Thanks for posting your video, I enjoyed it.
I had a 97 Lincoln town car signature series it had 229,000 miles drove like a cloud on the highway and will go anywhere unfortunately someone ran a light and totaled it and haven't been able to find another clean one
I have one I got off a 85 year old man. His grandson traded into the car dealer. It wasn't even listed yet when i seen it. I lucked out and purched it on the spot. It was garaged kept all original. 43,000 miles. 1997 Lincoln town car executive series
I had the same year don't get rid of that car bro mine had 229,000 miles
These are great cars for the money . Wise purchace .
Awesome ride, enjoy it ! Greetings from Europe.
Nicely done!
yo word up homie this vid is awesome, i was looking at this era of lincolns and caddys cuz this style, both the interior and exterior, are so appealing to me. was just here asking about any cons to cars like these and the MPG.
Only real con is interior and body parts are getting hard to find. As for MPGs I get about 18mpg in town. I get 22-24 on the highway.
@@MrE12AX7 nice nice, any problems with reliability, leaks, and issues like that? i'm thinking that imma get a town car over the summer.
This was great! Awesome job sharing your passion for these amazing cars and for sharing yourself. My father had two of these generation of Town Cars, a Signature Series and a Cartier. The Signature Series lasted him 480k miles before he donated it to a friend. The Cartier was destroyed by a drunk driver. He currently has a '91 Grand Marquis we found for him a couple of years ago. Great job also covering in detail all the luxury features the Town Car offered!
What an interesting and wonderful machine! Thanks for sharing it!
I saw on your typewriter database profile that you made a replacement paper table. I’m gonna have to do that for my machine, any tips?
Thanks but please check your breath and your tone voice and your overall health. It’s worrying.
I have a 4. Got it at a garage sale. I had no idea what it was but I new it was crazy looking. The spring that pulls the carriage along is missing possibly-at least the metal cable is not connected to it.
I just purchased one of these. Great to know what the features are!
I don't know if you had it or not, but you left out my favorite feature. The thermometer built into the driver's side mirror. Mine doesn't work but it's cool that it's there.
I was always curious about what that was.
Any idea where the serial number is on the premiere 4? I can’t find it. Great video. Thank you!
That was called the smokers vent window. If you noticed while driving it & they were open you would get any ventilation because they didn't pop out like other vent windows so you wouldn't get any air flow through the car
I just ordered a fixer-upper Fox no. 4 off of eBay. I was wondering where you got your information about there only being about 50ish of these known to still exist, as I've seen a lot of ads of them for sale? I'm interested to learn more since I now own one of these beautiful hunks of metal XD
I love the Fox! My favorite. I restored the worse of my two upstrikes and posted a video here. I hope to get the other one someday, but I'm working on others at the moment. It types pretty well, and if you are a proper touch typist you shouldn't be looking at what you are typing anyway, so the "blind typing" shouldn't be that much of an issue. I took typing in high school, sometime from 1980-83.
Julia Childs has one Densmore also.
Great video, I have the exact same machine, as for the “ wood” parts, this machine does has three pieces, one inside the platen( rod) , and the smaller long roller ( paper feed roll) right next to it, and a long wooden strip on the back behind that steel cover.
Hi, great video, would you be interested in selling the Oliver 3? I’m also an avid collector and can make a good offer. I live in the US.
The bell on this is beautiful.
Why you talk like that ?
Thank you for sharing this is beautiful 🙏
You have the best of both worlds the Mercury and the Lincoln 👍😎
140 horsepower but it had plenty of torque so these Lincolns move pretty quick I remember. 😎✌️
The good thing about these old cars you have plenty outlets for your cell phones. ☢️
Are you going to make a video about the Remington Standard no 2? There's almost no content out there about it!
it's nice to see the gay community get involved with old cars
Great video! I'm restoring one as well! How did you work with the metal links that goes from the typebar to the keys? Some of mine fell off and I'm having a hard time figuring this out
Hello, I am an student from the university Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona, Spain and I have to design this typewritter in the program Inventor Autodesk. I would be very pleased if you can send me some photos or a video of the mecanism that allows the keys to go up and type in the paper, thanks.
The Densmore brothers worked with Remington to develop the typewriter. Emmet Densmore was an attorney.
It’s my family who created this:)
My family is this Densmore family that helped invent this typewriter. My mom does genealogy and it’s her dads side if the family.
