@John Sluder this is probably my 2nd favorite generation Town Car. My favorite hands down is the 1989 Lincon Town Car. When you pulled up in one of those, people noticed. Gorgeous boxy classic Lincoln
paul tanner i have to agree with you on that. My aunt had the 1989 Town Car and no one in our family liked that car but me lol. It was the best car and best year of the Town Car in my opinion. Absolute beautiful car
There will never be another 1995-1997 Lincoln Town Car. That body-style is a timeless classic. I have 3 of them in storage and the car still turns heads 20 years later.
@@Anonymous-jo7ix I am too, I hope you're enjoying it, with good maintenance it will last years more... I couldn't say the same about modern luxury cars rappers boast about buying. Their "Benzs" as they call them, will be long broken due to over paying for repairs, as that Lincoln lives on...
I am even younger and dream about collecting these some day! I am glad to hear that there are younger generations other than me that know the value of these cars! Also, laugh at them as they get stranded and drown in their repair costs in ugly Kia Souls and all the other crap they probably drive, as your old Lincoln surpasses 200k miles!:)
Im 29 and i own a 1995 lincoln. Town car. With 159000 miles... Replaced the whole front suspension.. What a car!!! When i first bought it my wife thought its s granpa car. Now she only drives this even tho i have other alot newer cars
@Mr. Awesome well, when it comes to Korean cars, they are fine at the first 100,000, but then as they age... ⚠️. Also it does seem like places by Missouri, Mississippi, states would have people who enjoy those. People like us know good cars when we see them.
Right on! I'm 27 and have a '92 Town Car. Over 300k miles. Fast cars are nice but where are we in a hurry to get to? And FWD econoboxes are better on gas but worse on your body.
My wife has a 1996 Lincoln Town Car Cartier with 115,000 miles on it. It's a classic land yacht that runs perfect. I've repaired the rear air bags, coolant crossover, dash air deflector, rear backup light switch on the transmission and a oil drip seal. It continues to be a classic and most enjoyable automobile. They don't build them like this anymore.
Now that is American luxury! I personally prefer the ones from the 1980s, but you've got to love all of them really. Especially the ones that have been preserved.
I Drove A 02 Lincoln The Other Day It Blew My Mind On How Smooth It Rode & Drove & It Wasn't A Slouch Either I Never Knew Lincolns Had Such A Nice Ride Like That
@@TheRazvy1990 Why not? These are really comfortable and dependable cars that are easy to own and cheap to repair, that is something that can not be said about larger European cars.
@@ChevyBM yes....it's a problem finding good classic American cars in europe ....and the pieces are hard to find....so i stay with my E38 😃😃 but i still want a 60's muscle !!!
The smell of leather how comfortable it is the sounds this car makes the joy from playing with the buttons especially the seat makes me feel like a kid again
trigga ville ,my 96 has 250,000 miles and everything works but air ride ,I have coils and air shocks now,I also have a 2005 tc, but the 96 is my favorite, to me it rides a bit better
@trigga ville I'm not surprised, these things are undestructable, and could go for years, heck, I heard about a crown vic that went over a million miles! These Lincoln Town Cars are identical mechanically, and could do so too!
@@04dram04 Hardly, the down-sized full-sized sedans were around 215-225 inches long in the late 70's and 80's. Then in the late 80's and 90's they got even smaller with many being in the 205-210 range. They were still a nice sized car and styled to look larger and American. Now the longest sedans are just over 200 inches but they style them to look smaller and very bland. They push the wheels as far toward the ends of the car with next to no overhangs or trunk and make them several inches taller than big American cars were years ago when the slogan was "longer, lower wider." Now they just have the profile of a turtle and it's no wonder GM and FoMoCo are discontinuing all of their sedans because nobody wants to buy them they are just awful. How did we get so far removed from making beautiful and comfortable sedans like this??
Now we just have pickup truck based SUVs to take their place (still nice, big & comfy just in a weird bundle pkg), Escalade ESV (Fleetwood), Navigator L (Town Car) & Yukon Denali (Roadmaster). I'm fortunate to have both and as much as I love my ESV Premium I have to admit my 11' DTS rides like a traditional Caddy. Sadly everything is Crossover this and Crossover that and pretty soon All electric smh.
i have a 2006 grand marquis we are still have cars like this , crown vic , grand marquis , and caprice 80s 90s in saudi arabia , We lived the most beautiful memories of such cars, and one of the best that American companies have made , best cars for ever :)
man my dad loves this car. The few times i drove it, has to be one of the smoothest cars ive ever driven. almost fell asleep a few times while driving it.
That engine bay looks BRAND f* NEW !! Actually- ALL of it looks, well just about Perfect. This is something of a time capsule, and these were also pretty good cars for their time too.
samspace81 Well I am particularly enjoying your current project on the '58 Studebaker actually. And ever since you started with it I have been looking them-up,as they're obviously pretty obscure like you mentioned ! Keep up the great videos Sam. I like the way you've taken up the idea that DanRestodan has for seeing how cheaply it can be done -with a lot of skill and know-how. I love it man. I think your uploads are excellent and I really look forward to each one. I noticed you mentioned ColdWarMotors too. What a great channel that is too. CHEERS from Dorset. UK.
Hello, i am from France and i am lucky owner of one 1995 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series since 2013. i am very happy to have this car since this time and it's always a pleasure to drive it, to take care of it and to make some repair myself on !!! Best regards from Nice City. Vive la France =)
Beautiful!!! This is truly the best looking Town Car before going to the bloated and round successor that came in 1998. And of all the 90's cars, this is one car that is one of my favorites and mostly of its body style. I just picked up a 1994 Town Car next to my 05 Deville, so now I have the best from both Lincoln and Cadillac.
I recently bought a 1993 Lincoln Town Car signature series on Craigslist for only $1,000 and it rides perfectly the two back windows have problems and the hood ornaments missing but that's fine. the rare ragtop is also in great shape.
Hello, I had a 1986 I imported to New Zealand. It wasnt mint but was fine. I loved it. Its the only car that had tears streaming down my face when I sold it. I only sold it very reluctantly for financial reasons but would never do so again. Id rather sleep in a Town car than sell it. Yes they are not environmental and you get really tired of people saying "I bet that uses a lot of fuel". But they just inspire affection unlike newer cars engineered to have plastic that biodegrades as your driving it. You take your Lincoln out on your days off work and smile as it goes over pot holes like they dont exist and you aim your Lincoln star down the road and all your troubles fade away.
When this body style was launched in 1990 I was in my first year at university and I did not even have a car, but while others at my age dreamt with a Nissan 300zx or a Chevrolet Corvette, I used to dream myself driving this beauty. It's just timeless perfection, until now is one of my favorite cars ever.
Those are so nice cars and now days they give huuuuge value for money! Smooth, dependable, roomy and in every way perfect cars! I daily drive a mint condition 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis (Presidential) witch now has about 27000miles. I traded my 2005 Mercedes-Benz E320 for the Mercury and have not regretted it a single time, the thing is when you get used to drive a full size body on frame car it is hard to find the same comfort in any other vehicle. I also have a 1991 Caprice Classic that I bought in 2009 that I should start restoring to its former glory soon when it turns 30 years old.
@@samspace81 Sadly I could only enjoy looking at it. It has always been my dream car. It's almost impossible to find a good one these days... especially in my country.
I just picked up my 97' Cartier in Ivory Pearlscent (every option except phone lol). One of my all-time favorite cars and my 5th Panther. These cars are tanks and they run forever! -95 CVPI (P71), sold @ 310k -00' CV (P73) sold @ 200k -04' Marauder, sold @ 200k -11' CVPI P7B (133k and counting) -now 97' LTC Cartier (232k and WILL go up)
My 95 town car Spinnaker is my winter car. It sure rides nice and has plenty of power thanks to the performance package. Made to run through the desert 24 hrs a day
@@samspace81 sure am! Just finished it's second winter in da "up" and now it's back inside for the summer. If you want to see what I drive in the summer, check out my Grand Marquis/Marauder combo. Super rare car. I love all these Panthers.
Such a relaxing video. Very well shot. Growing up in NYC, these were practically everywhere. Then after these ran their course the 98-02 model replaced them, and soon after the 03-11 model came in, many of which are still running around as livery cabs with well over 300,000 miles on them---a true testament to their craftsmanship & durability. These along with the Ford Crown Victoria are American icons and certainly an NYC staple. When the last of the 03-11's and Crown Victoria's are gone, there will be an unfilled void in our city. Having owned five panther bodies (two being town cars), I can safely say these are amazing machines and nothing will ever be produced in their likeness ever again. The 1990-1997 Town Car had such elegance. A timeless design that has aged gracefully. On a side note, it's amazing how this car still has the original plastic intake manifold--which was known to crack and leak antifreeze.
Aircraft technician, no wonder it's in mint shape. I owned one for 5 years and drove across the U.S. 7 times from Boston to Phoenix and Oklahoma. Best car I ever owned in the U.S.
@Gordon Taylor, Yes Sir, I must agree along with those Ford Crown Vics these are truly dependable vehicles, yet these offer pretty good mileage on the H ways, Best Greets from across the pond, Paul
Very nice. I'd love to own one of these. Yours has 49K miles on it and looks great. A retired banker in our town has a white on white '97 with well over 200K on it and still looks like new money. He keeps it garaged, clean, and never on salty roads. He's had to do very little repairs on it. It just proves that taking care of an automobile pays off.
-We have a '97 Town Car Cartier we bought new. Car has nearly 215,000 virtually trouble free miles, has been properly maintained. The comfort of the ride and seats unbeatable! 6-800 miles a day is no strain, and on such trips it will average 23-25 MPG on regular gas! We have elected to keep this superb vehicle and spend as much as necessary to keep it in prime condition, even several times its market value if need be rather than spend several times that amount on any of the current offerings of any make, none of which appeal to us!
Bought my 1996 Executive Series about a year ago. Very clean, quiet riding and running car, mine is the same color. 115k on her, but drives like new, even on the highway. Finally giving my 70 Coupe deville a break after 31 years of driving her.
beautiful car, 3 times whe rent a towncar in America on Hollyday the run great ! I had 11 years a grand marquis with the same engine,never one problem !
I hope to get this car as much as I like it, it's one of the best cars issued by Ford for elegance, beauty, design and performance, this is my dream car 😊😢👍
Also one of my dream car. When I finish college, I will try to find this Lincoln and also the Lincoln Continental Mark V. Can never go wrong with a Lincoln Town Car!
I was a young limo driver in the 90’s & must say I loved our Lincoln cars way more than the Cadillacs. The 5.0 V8 I think was introduced in the Mustang 5.0 series powered our Lincoln limos. I’m not sure of the powertrain in our Cadillacs but they were sluggish trying to handle the weight. I could burn rubber in the Lincolns.
I thought those beautiful chrome window switches were finished the early 1990s. Digital dash looks flash and I could feel the pillowy ride through my smart phone!
Gerard J. I have an Australian made 1992 Ford Fairlane Ghia, a large long wheelbase luxury sedan and it's power window switches are the rather boring black rocker switches that don't feel that nice to operate but work ok. The last Aussie Fairlanes to have those chrome style switches with the pointy tip were in 1984 and they were beautiful looking and so sensually luxurious! Then they switched to Euro style plain black rocker type in the name of looking "updated".
Those Town Cars were the bomb the mid-cycle from 95-97 were the best looking cars liked them when was a little boy around that time a beautiful car never will see the glory and durable of newer cars this day and age Ford did well in this generation Town car... ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CAR I wish had got one when first got my license knew wouldnt had experience behind wheel because would had felt driving a boat though not as big something like Cadillac Fleetwood or Buick Roadmaster.
I've always loved 1990s Lincolns especially the limousine version, I prefer them even to Cadillac. I also have a fondness for 1990s Mercury Grand Marquis. I've always driven European Fords & liked them, sadly we don't have the Mercury or Lincoln divisions here. I've had a 1998 Ford Granada Scorpio Ultimia 3.0L since almost new & it's fast, reliable smooth & has the interior trim of this Lincoln. It can out perform many smaller sports vehicles in sports mode. These are also becoming collect able cars now & getting rare. The 1990s & the 1950s gave us the two best eras of cars.
+390merc65 I have an '89 Grand Marquis LS and an '89 Town Car Signature Series. Nothing made today compares if you like smooth, economical reliability.
I have a 2009 Town Car that I took a video of on my channel. I bought it in Dec 2016 for $10,800. It had 57k miles on it at the time and it's a signature limited silver with black interior. It's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned which is about ten different vehicles.
@@samspace81 sold it tho… miss it at times, but I needed a vehicle that could go off road at times/haul stuff. It hurt, but I found a buyer who loves those old school rides as much as I do. I bet he’s still enjoying it. 🥰
I had two of the awesome cars!, I loved them so much! A white one and this silver one. I now have a 2004 in white that I am driving. Best comfortable car ever made!! I never want to get rid of it, only 133,000 miles. But I need a higher seat for my knees to get in and out.
Thanks for your reply. Also, i think that out of all the Mark series cars, the 69-71 were the best looking and more desirable. I have a 70 MK3 and adore it.
This car was what's now old school luxury with the big recliner like seats and room to fit your whole family and all of your suit cases in. The engine in that car was real quite and still! How did he get a new old car like that?
1995 town car with 233k getting 16.7mpg now got 7 when I got her a year ago all original everything works. Watch that your spark plug wires aren't touching like in this video when hood was open, can burn & cause that ticking through the wire. Learned that one $85.00 later & also cleared my #8 cylinder ticking. Still was at perfect idle, but clear as day ticking in the cab
Great observation Ryan! Yes, I don't like arching plug wires. You can see it happening in the dark, great way to check. Thanks for following Samspace81
Simplemente una joya !! Ya pocas veces visto aquí en México con la alza de la gasolina este tipo de autos dejaron de existir... Pero a mí punto de vista un verdadero automóvil en toda la extensión de la palabra!! Lastima que ahora todo sea plástico y sintético.
Beautiful elegant car..outclasses the vast majority of new cars. Lucky find for sure for you! We have a 2007 with very low mileage that I plan to never part with..in awesome condition!
Now THIS is a luxury car. Not those overpriced, mid-sized, sport sedans they try to pass off as luxury cars these days.
knytrydr73 so true. They label everything luxury these days - it’s bollocks!!
@John Sluder No they were NOT, THEY WERE MASSIVE T REX GAUDY LOOKING.😣😤😤

Is it just me or this generation Town Car looks a little bit more refined than the 3rd gen?.
There's just nothing like a Lincoln Town Car. Gotta love them.

1995-1997 was the pinnacle of the town car in my opinion.

But i still remember it. A great car by all means.
it is the first time i see it but, i can affirm it is a very luxuous car, and more class than many of today sedans
I've got my drivers license for three years now and I am dreaming of this car. Quite rare here in Germany...
Keep on dreaming. This is car is not for Germans.

Love that, I run the miles up on my rides too. Appreciate your viewership
I had the same and no complaint. Luxury, beautiful, comfortable, good drive experience, I miss my towncar.... :(
Great drivers for long distance
How can this beauty have 105 dislikes.. everything about this car is great.. very affordable to maintain also .. I’ve owned a town car all my life ..
Great cars! I love haters too
My 95 town car Spinnaker is my winter car. It sure rides nice and has plenty of power thanks to the performance package. Made to run through the desert 24 hrs a day
I bet you are still cruising
@@samspace81 sure am! Just finished it's second winter in da "up" and now it's back inside for the summer. If you want to see what I drive in the summer, check out my Grand Marquis/Marauder combo. Super rare car. I love all these Panthers.
Such a relaxing video. Very well shot. Growing up in NYC, these were practically everywhere. Then after these ran their course the 98-02 model replaced them, and soon after the 03-11 model came in, many of which are still running around as livery cabs with well over 300,000 miles on them---a true testament to their craftsmanship & durability. These along with the Ford Crown Victoria are American icons and certainly an NYC staple. When the last of the 03-11's and Crown Victoria's are gone, there will be an unfilled void in our city. Having owned five panther bodies (two being town cars), I can safely say these are amazing machines and nothing will ever be produced in their likeness ever again. The 1990-1997 Town Car had such elegance. A timeless design that has aged gracefully. On a side note, it's amazing how this car still has the original plastic intake manifold--which was known to crack and leak antifreeze.
Thanks so much it's all i do
Fixed in 96 I think
Aircraft technician, no wonder it's in mint shape. I owned one for 5 years and drove across the U.S. 7 times from Boston to Phoenix and Oklahoma. Best car I ever owned in the U.S.
@Gordon Taylor, Yes Sir, I must agree along with those Ford Crown Vics these are truly dependable vehicles, yet these offer pretty good mileage on the H ways, Best Greets from across the pond, Paul
Thanks Paul & Gordon, great cars.
I love the cloud soft ride this 97 towncar has, that air suspension is superior, I love this towncar.
Soft luxury ride
Awesome, like new. Passed the water bottle test just fine!
Yeah it did! This is a butter smooth ride. My friend Bobby introduced the water bottle test haha Thanks and enjoy the channel.
I remember riding in those Lincolns many times back in the day.
Me too! They were everywhere. The real nice ones like this brings some bucks now. Thanks for following Samspace81, Michael
Something nobody notices is that was the last of the chrome covered column shifter in a car. No car nowdays has a column shifter in chrome like that.
Good eye buddy, thanks for watching Samspace81

Youwelcome, how much would a car like that in that condition sell for anyway?
$5,000-$10,000
samspace81
Seems a fair. My parents 34,000 mile ford escape was purchased for $18,000 I believe. That must be worth $10,000
Ford Escape not desirable
Very nice. I'd love to own one of these.
Yours has 49K miles on it and looks great. A retired banker in our town has a white on white '97 with well over 200K on it and still looks like new money. He keeps it garaged, clean, and never on salty roads. He's had to do very little repairs on it. It just proves that taking care of an automobile pays off.
Same color as my 1997 signature! I have 139k on mine
-We have a '97 Town Car Cartier we bought new. Car has nearly 215,000 virtually trouble free miles, has been properly maintained. The comfort of the ride and seats unbeatable! 6-800 miles a day is no strain, and on such trips it will average 23-25 MPG on regular gas! We have elected to keep this superb vehicle and spend as much as necessary to keep it in prime condition, even several times its market value if need be rather than spend several times that amount on any of the current offerings of any make, none of which appeal to us!
Incredible, thanks for sharing. Great cruiser. I keep a good car too!
I am a proud owner of 1996 Lincoln Town Car Signature series and it as Beautiful all around.
Wonderful Cars
Great car, great ride, regards from Serbia.
Thank you for checking it out and enjoy the channel! I just love cars, especially classic cars.
In Serbia do you see “classic” yugo cars often?
Rising Embers Gaming hahahahah!
فورد العريقه 💪👏
Bought my 1996 Executive Series about a year ago. Very clean, quiet riding and running car, mine is the same color. 115k on her, but drives like new, even on the highway. Finally giving my 70 Coupe deville a break after 31 years of driving her.
beautiful car, 3 times whe rent a towncar in America on Hollyday the run great ! I had 11 years a grand marquis with the same engine,never one problem !
Thanks for sharing
I have a 1997 Signature series in the same color. Best ride ever!
Awesome, hold onto it. Thanks for watching Samspace81
Lincoln, what a luxury car should be.
True
I hope to get this car as much as I like it, it's one of the best cars issued by Ford for elegance, beauty, design and performance, this is my dream car 😊😢👍
Also one of my dream car. When I finish college, I will try to find this Lincoln and also the Lincoln Continental Mark V. Can never go wrong with a Lincoln Town Car!
Nothin rides like a Lincoln!!!!
I was a young limo driver in the 90’s & must say I loved our Lincoln cars way more than the Cadillacs. The 5.0 V8 I think was introduced in the Mustang 5.0 series powered our Lincoln limos. I’m not sure of the powertrain in our Cadillacs but they were sluggish trying to handle the weight. I could burn rubber in the Lincolns.
Nice Steve, great drivetrains! Loved them in my dads 89 Lincoln LSC
I love this cars, this was my first car.
Awesome
I thought those beautiful chrome window switches were finished the early 1990s. Digital dash looks flash and I could feel the pillowy ride through my smart phone!
Thanks James, enjoy the channel.
They had them till the last ones.
Gerard J. I have an Australian made 1992 Ford Fairlane Ghia, a large long wheelbase luxury sedan and it's power window switches are the rather boring black rocker switches that don't feel that nice to operate but work ok. The last Aussie Fairlanes to have those chrome style switches with the pointy tip were in 1984 and they were beautiful looking and so sensually luxurious! Then they switched to Euro style plain black rocker type in the name of looking "updated".
Those Town Cars were the bomb the mid-cycle from 95-97 were the best looking cars liked them when was a little boy around that time a beautiful car never will see the glory and durable of newer cars this day and age Ford did well in this generation Town car... ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CAR I wish had got one when first got my license knew wouldnt had experience behind wheel because would had felt driving a boat though not as big something like Cadillac Fleetwood or Buick Roadmaster.
They really are a modern classic. Thanks for watching, Ramon. Great insight.
I have a super clean 93 LTC, but this car is in mint condition. Much respect to you.
I've always loved 1990s Lincolns especially the limousine version, I prefer them even to Cadillac. I also have a fondness for 1990s Mercury Grand Marquis. I've always driven European Fords & liked them, sadly we don't have the Mercury or Lincoln divisions here. I've had a 1998 Ford Granada Scorpio Ultimia 3.0L since almost new & it's fast, reliable smooth & has the interior trim of this Lincoln. It can out perform many smaller sports vehicles in sports mode. These are also becoming collect able cars now & getting rare. The 1990s & the 1950s gave us the two best eras of cars.
The Grand Marquis! haha those are great cars. Ford/Lincoln really made some nice interior through the 1990s
+390merc65 I have an '89 Grand Marquis LS and an '89 Town Car Signature Series. Nothing made today compares if you like smooth, economical reliability.
This body style looks better than 1998-2002. Only shortcoming with Town Cars are their under-powered engines compared to Continentals and Mark VIIIs.
Agree
What a beauty!
Really was
What a stunning car! Absolutely beautiful.
Appreciate you checking it out
I have a 2009 Town Car that I took a video of on my channel. I bought it in Dec 2016 for $10,800. It had 57k miles on it at the time and it's a signature limited silver with black interior. It's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned which is about ten different vehicles.
Sweet ride
@@samspace81 sold it tho… miss it at times, but I needed a vehicle that could go off road at times/haul stuff. It hurt, but I found a buyer who loves those old school rides as much as I do. I bet he’s still enjoying it. 🥰
Back when OWNING a car not only meant something, but said something about its owner! Those days are over.
These just seem magnificent in retrospect.
It really is a great car, they are very collectible and hard to find in this kind of condition. Enjoy the channel.
What a beauty. One of the most reliable Town Car models Ford ever manufactured.
Waiting for the debut of the new continental
Best car ford ever made. Rides on a cloud.
They really do
Damn that car was in nice shape
It was. Bobby knows how to pick em. thanks for watching
This 1997 Lincoln , was the best car . I have ever had in my life. I wish I never sold mine's. 2019 still looking for one...😔
Such great cruisers. Any luck?
I just bought one.Want to buy it?
I had two of the awesome cars!, I loved them so much! A white one and this silver one. I now have a 2004 in white that I am driving. Best comfortable car ever made!! I never want to get rid of it, only 133,000 miles. But I need a higher seat for my knees to get in and out.
They really are! Thanks for sharing that. Appreciate you following Samspace81
When I get the money I’ll probably build an old fashioned “Luxo Boat” collection with Lincoln, Cadillac, and of course Buick.
Nice! I love big American cruisers too. Appreciate it Jake
Sorry for the misspelled words just got excited look at those seats oh my goodness beautiful whoever had it was ridiculously clean👊👌👍🥂💥💯
I understood your message & appreciate you watching
I have one of these, the same year, and I like it a lot. It is one of my two daily drivers.
Nice, you still have it?
@@samspace81 Yes, but right now I can't afford to have any work done on it, and it needs a lot of work, unfortunately.
Everytime I see one of these, I have visions of Uncle Junior hiding on the back seat whist Mikey Palmice drives off admiring his latest whack.
Thanks for watching Samspace81
I miss my 97' town car everyday
Great cruisers!
FANTASTIC...AN ICON!!!
Great Lincolns
Great car. This series is much better looking than the model that came after this one. In my opinion.
I agree and prices dictate that too
Thanks for your reply. Also, i think that out of all the Mark series cars, the 69-71 were the best looking and more desirable. I have a 70 MK3 and adore it.
This car was what's now old school luxury with the big recliner like seats and room to fit your whole family and all of your suit cases in. The engine in that car was real quite and still! How did he get a new old car like that?
Good stuff, never again. Appreciate you watching & commenting
I need to find one this clean. Dayum.
Hard to find nowadays like it for sure
1995 town car with 233k getting 16.7mpg now got 7 when I got her a year ago all original everything works. Watch that your spark plug wires aren't touching like in this video when hood was open, can burn & cause that ticking through the wire. Learned that one $85.00 later & also cleared my #8 cylinder ticking. Still was at perfect idle, but clear as day ticking in the cab
Great observation Ryan! Yes, I don't like arching plug wires. You can see it happening in the dark, great way to check. Thanks for following Samspace81
Simplemente una joya !! Ya pocas veces visto aquí en México con la alza de la gasolina este tipo de autos dejaron de existir... Pero a mí punto de vista un verdadero automóvil en toda la extensión de la palabra!! Lastima que ahora todo sea plástico y sintético.
Appreciate you watching Carlos
Beautiful elegant car..outclasses the vast majority of new cars. Lucky find for sure for you! We have a 2007 with very low mileage that I plan to never part with..in awesome condition!
For sure, thanks for checking it out
LINCOLN TOWN CAR: WHAT A LUXURY CAR SHOULD BE.
100

Really was a clean one 👌
I BOUGHT A 97 PRESIDENTIAL OFF AN OLD TIMER FOR $1500 A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ! MINT !! LOVED IT 25 MPG HIGHWAY !! LIKE DRIVING A SOFA !!
They are comfy. Thanks for following the Samspace81 classic car channel.
I have this car, that’s so cool!
Awesome, hope it is a good car for you. Thanks for following Samspace81, Lizbeth
