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.

    @@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??

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.

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 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.

    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".

    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.

    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.

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.
