I love the suspension moves while braking at 2:33.... it looks like you're driving Titanic! Dang, american cars may not be as fast or tight as european but if there's something they have to show is luxury and comfort! :D
Yeppers, the metal end cap ones were used in the limo towncars but will work just the same in the normal civilian version. They do include a thicker rubber bladders as well but unless you have a towncar signature touring sedan it wont make any difference.
I miss those days when American sedans were super large and full of luxury! I am glad lincoln is planing to (re-) introduce the continental 2016. Thats the way american cars should be! large, smooth and luxurious.
But the new Continental is nothing special or surprising. One glance at it, and you wouldn't know if it was a Mercedes or another look alike Ford except searching for the badge. I don't see that car having a very promising future unfortunately. Bringing back the Continental should be the wow factor of bringing back a car that looks like a real Lincoln Continental. Ford did that with the Mustang and the Thunderbird, and there's no reason why Ford can't do the same thing for the Continental and having it come standard with a V8.
why stop at 2 wheel air spring, because four wheel air spring as found out by Rolls Royce makes no noticeable difference, since the back air does 98% of the work, and it saves on expense. maintenance, repair, and complexity of the system.
Nice video... I'm sure you know that Canada uses Litres for fuel and not Imperial Gallons as I'm assuming they did back in 1990... its kind of remarkable that a car back then would cost $44,163 (even in Canadian dollars) from my research the exchange rate then was $0.87 CAD / $1 US. But I wouldn't think that I would want RWD as they advertise here I know Town Cars to be useless in the snow (and seen it first hand).
@WHITEVOLK8814 i guess 150 HP was alot of Horse power back in 1990.....given the motors strong torque in the low RPM Range it certainly still had some Get-Up and go to it.
@WHITEVOLK8814 oh well,the Engine Still has 280 Ft Ibs of torque for the 160 HP,and 270 Ft Ibs of Torque for the 150 HP engine....the 1991 Towncars increased power to 210 HP with the Modular Engine Verses the Windsor of the 1990 Towncars,so...
thats why you should upgrade to the limo air spring from arnott industries, lifetime warranty and are heavier duty; made of steel instead of plastic end caps. They feel the same as regular ones from motorcraft, plus they are only 100 dollars each compared to OEM ford at 350 each.
That was peanuts compared to any foreign brand luxury car. A base Mercedes 420 SEL was up around $90k. Sure they are cheap now but they all are the same way. My 94 TC I bought for $1800 in like new condition. No complaints at all.
Omg the rear air suspension was the like the dumbest thing Ford had come up with. I mean I know where they were coming from with it, but I had two of these Lincolns, they were really nice cars overall, but the air suspension went out on both of them. One from putting 3 people in the back seat and the other from going over a speed bump too fast
Yes the price was high for that time. However today you see people from all income levels, welfare to 6-7 figures driving luxury cars. Luxury cars at one time represented status, today they don't because anyone can buy one..
The price was nothing. All the other luxury cars except Cadillac was anywhere between $70-90 thousand. This was on the low side of the same class and were easily outselling much of the competition.
@Rollsroycemoney Do you have anything intelligent or constructive to say? If you don't like what I said fine, counter it with something that we can use.

When he said "one day all cars will have ABS and that day it would be a lot safer" Nope, you guessed wrong buddy now people cause deaths with texting.
Increase the safety features and you decrease people's self preservation. They think the cars are safer so they drive less safe.

So it breaks even therefore right?

:D
Super clean 93 LTC and loving it!
Same here. Just bought a 94 TC in like new condition and loving it!
Nowadays there's plenty of aftermarket parts for both 5.0 and 4.6 Great car either way
Gorgeous car

Haha brand new in 1990 and MRSP was $44k. Today they're worth about $1500 in good condition
I recently bought one for $1800 in like new condition.
@Jaleel Wainaina hahaha just got a 90 for $500 last month
Canadian dollars, not US
They go for around $3500+ USD on bigger sites like carfax and edmunds to name a few.
Best car I have ever owned
I have an '89 I paid $500 for. I love it
little over 20 miles per gallon isn't bad since this was in the city.

This is a great video.
find more
Im a firm believer in more cubic inches, but in the case of Ford's modular engine, I'd prefer the 4.6 with DOHC.
my cousin just got a towncar 1996 amazing car!
it should get as good of mpg as the pt cruiser it replaced
Carro maravilhoso

Carro incrivel
@H20MarkVIII The regular ones are have only plastic end caps?? Wow...

Wow even expensive back then. 150 HP v8 lol. I know this was 20 years ago, but now 4 cylinder cars have 200 HP!
"Motoring" is basically the Canadian Motorweek.
Those were luxury cars so confront was a priority over durability, otherwise town cars will only be crown vics with different badge.
The music haha
That's just too funny 🤣
Me gusta el carro
@studpuppy69 & some even in the 300 - 400 hp range too lol
@DerAdventurer Yeah wished they still moved like that, but now newer cars are all stiff and blah
Lincolns Rule!!!!!!!!!!!
3:00 CANADA ALWAYS USED U.S. GALLONS. DUH.
44 000 for a Lincoln in 1990!?!?, they are nice but i think that was a lot of money in 1990
Still is. Now you can get a clean one for around $4,400.
That was peanuts compared to any foreign brand luxury car. A base Mercedes 420 SEL was up around $90k. Sure they are cheap now but they all are the same way. My 94 TC I bought for $1800 in like new condition. No complaints at all.
Look at how much gas costs at 130. 52 cents a litre, Nowadays it almost 3 times that

Canada never used UK Imperial Gallons. Why would we when we're not in the UK??? DUH. Canada always used U.S. Gallons.
@dadsoldtapes it's people like you who created cars like Cadillac Eldorados and Sevilles, thanks god no cadillac's are FWD anymore.
Yes the price was high for that time. However today you see people from all income levels, welfare to 6-7 figures driving luxury cars. Luxury cars at one time represented status, today they don't because anyone can buy one..

those two people drives lexus...
stiff dampers are better.. remember that when you're almost tipped over
1990 Town Cars are turds with the stock 5.0. Im glad they dropped in the 4.6 for 1991.
The 5.0 engine moved the Towncar fine. Its not a sports car.
Mafia Car...lol
The lincoln town car 1990 $40,000 today
this particular car would cost over $80k today with adjustment to inflation!
I believe that priced in Canadian money so in US dollar should be around $30,000
@Rollsroycemoney Do you have anything intelligent or constructive to say? If you don't like what I said fine, counter it with something that we can use.
@trn000 Haha not
even being 23 years ago bmw's 3.5 straight 6 in the 7 series and 5 series were rated at 209 hp.. this car would definitely be last option in my books
But you know which one would still be running without much trouble? Not the BMW's.
How much Torque did those BMWs have?
What the hell is this bootleg motorweek
i have had to replace the rear air bags with coil springs on every one of these
