Did I buy the LAST 1997 Lincoln Town Car ever made? It SHOULD be a 1998! LOW MILE Museum Quality
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I had another opportunity to acquire a sweet unbelievably low mileage 1997 Lincoln Town Car. This time though what really blew me away was the build date on this car. It should have been a 1998! Should I auction it or sell it outright?! It’s ready to go!

The top only adds to its beauty. The 97 in my opinion, will be a collector. Even the color. I normally don’t like silver, but this one has a blue hue to it that’s is so appealing. Love the wheels too. This is a true keeper guys!!
Nice vehicle designed for comfortable and quiet highway travel. Most 1997 vehicles have long ago been sold to a salvage yard, the last owner being a teenager who was using the vehicle for pizza delivery. Glad this one has been conserved.

Enjoyed watching the walk a round of that beautiful 1997 Lincoln Towncar. Has to be one last car built in a model year and perhaps this is it. I enjoyed the 6 years I drove my white 1997 Lincoln Towncar. Look forward to the results of the report.
In summer of 97 ,we worked at Wixom, Ford, at new paint boot, changing over, to Detroit water,from city of Wixom, we had the plant down for 4weeks, due to the tie in for water, so plant was no shutdown until labor day weekend
This car is absolutely beautiful! The fact that this car has under 13K is bonkers! Whoever buys this is going to buy a gem! One of my dear friends had a town car like this, he's in heaven now, but I remember how much he loved his town car. Great vlog!

I pleaded with my Father (now in heaven) for him to give me his town car. It had what I call the mercury speedometer. I still can't figure out what year it was. That was more than 30 years ago and Ive wanted one ever since! Im a new subscriber

Anthony do you still have that Cadillac brougham 91 I believe it's kind of it's a dark blue kind of a black love the way it is I'm do you still have it or not but let me know send me a text if you can this is Ed from Atwater Merced I see your video with that caddy seems like it's pretty nice to drive around I've had about five or six caddies myself I just got rid of my getting rid of my Lincoln Mark 8 looking for that four-door I really like that color and the miles on it let me know thank you have a great day go Bengals
Love it, thank you so much Anthony for another outstanding car, keep it up the great job.
Hey Anthony wow that is really incredible.You must have great Lincoln in Cadillac karma to be able to find these gems! I was thrilled to see your thumbnails pop up!
Nice! Was looking forward to this video after watching that 300 mile grey town car one. Can’t wait to watch it later!
There you go again Andrew buying a car again. That Lincoln is awesome.
06:47 Texas salt free where a 50 year old vehicle will still look assembly line fresh!! That car is BRAND NEW!!! It needs to go into a museum!! I have tiger paw white walls on my 95 Town Car--great tires... That has to be one of the last 1997s, if not the last.... It will be very hard to price that 1997"Texas" and your other 97"Chicago"... Not really anything to compare them to on pricing... very unique and more of a collectors type cars... I would put them both on Ebay and let guys all over the world have a chance to own these national treasures. This would most likely secure each of them into great homes with collectors that will keep them and not "daily" them in salt. I can see both of them going over-seas, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. 05:40 push map lights slightly to make them come on with the doors opening up... pet peeve of mine, nothing wrong- the last person just didn't push the light all the way... In 1997 lots of legit Lincoln "new Town Car every 3-4 year" people saw the new "turtle" 1998 coming out soon("ugly, no key pad, no hood ornament) and they immediately put in an emergency order for a new "old body" 97.... 07:35 cruise control deactivation recall done already... 07:37 new intake manifold. All 1996, 97, 98, 99, 00, and 01 left the factory with full total plastic intake manifolds. I seriously doubt this intake broke, it was likely changed as precautions( I see you mention the intake at 09:11)... Most late 97s got a full size matching spare tire/wheel as Lincoln was trying to "use up all the left over wheels" that could not be used on the new body 98... Those "spring edition" wheels are very rare. 12:36 my First Town Car was a 1995 just like that one. Absolutely beautiful.... night lighting with that interior is so elegant. Great video, beautiful cars and a beautiful life you have!!!

Had a black 97 with grey interior.best riding car i ever had.plastic intake manifold did split and car ran hot from fluid loss.i was close to home so it wasn't a big problem.i would like to have that one you are showing.they are some of the best cars ever made.i went through a acrimonious divorce in 2009 so i sold the 97.broke my heart but I'm making it.stay safe people.
Wow, that is an awesome car. You are on a run lately for sure! Good to see Papa Bear too. Love your videos!
Your garage kinda reminds me of a plastic surgeon’s waiting room. “I’m just in for a little work “ That Lincoln is really something. The only flaw that I can see is that it’s in your garage and not mine. Good health to you and your family.

Great Video Anthony. Can’t wait to hear what you find out about the 97 T. C!! A Big Hello To You and Pappa Bear From Canada!! 😀
Hi bro I have been a jeweler for 45 years and you love what you do as much as i loved my jobs retired now.bought the Seville convertible from you ttysoon
I worked at Ford during this time and was in & out Wixom assembly a lot. (Wixom, MI) The vehicle in the video was likely built just after Labor Day 1997. There were several town cars that were built & parked behind the plant, then one day they were all gone. That’s all I remember. The FN145 that replaced this one was junk, fit/finish bad, & the trans was clunky. It shared the same engine and trans as the Mark 8. The Continental had the same basic engine as the other 2, yet de-tuned for a FWD. Nice car in the video, good luck whatever you decide to do with it.

Maybe you should buy it and store it in the garage between yo legs
Incredible looking car. The wheels it's hard to say could have been a case of having leftover of those and no more of the fall ones. Possibly even at the dealer level they were taken off a car as part of the first sale. To get aftermarket ones or a different style oem ones. I had a used 98 and was able to get a new set of the chrome 16 oem rims with protective film still on them. Guy I bought them from got them from a ford/lincoln dealer where a good amount of buyers would take delivery of new cars with aftermarket rims. Not sure if he worked there or just had a setup with them.
The car is near flawless. If it's the last one, then it may be a keeper. In any event I'm buying an extra lottery ticket. Amazing find Mr. Gozzo, keep leading the way.

Beautiful Car with 12,000 Miles. Maybe someone would want to keep it as something that will just go up In Value.. As far As a daily driver it's one of the last car's I would want to buy. It's A tank and way to big. But that's Me. I'm not trying to knock it down Someone else will see it and not be bothered with the massive size. You have to admit It screams the 90's. Beautiful Interior.
Wow. I'd love to drive around something like that
Gorgeous car, congratulations, amazing condition.
Stunning example, Anthony!
Sell, sell,sell Great Car u know how to set the price, U been doing this awhile, Keep up the good Work 👍🏽✌🏽
Dude! Hang onto that thing, drive it and enjoy it!! That beautiful car was built to be driven, not sitting!! I had a 1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature just like this one only green and I really regret selling it and I want it back! If you really do have the last 1997 LTC, don't sell it! Somebody will put it into a museum and it'll never see the road again!
Wow awesome find Anthony specialty’s motor cars and papa bear that Lincoln needs to be in a museum 🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘
thats a great car Anthony, i love the digital dash!!
It's a keeper Anthony!!
Stunning 1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature!!! Grandma had one same silver car!!! Signature!!!
Lincoln Town Cars indeed... Thank you for sharing what is going on and your fleet and what yiou do to reconsitional vehicles for sale.
I Love this car, I would love to buy it!
Really good car, historically important thing. Understand you happiness very well. I have an LTC Signature of 2011, 04 month. The last half year producing.
Nothing like having a full size spare!
Fabulous! Again my love for Cadillac and Lincoln wish I could get that one and the gray Brougham!!!!
WOW, how beautiful!! Greetings from Hungary, Europe!
This is my favorite generation of the town car. So beautiful.
I love this car. However, the green one...OMG. Can't wait to see that one. I might finally break!
Hi Anthony awesome looking Town car
Had a green 97 signature, loved it. Traded it for 99 Town car signature touring sedan, white metallic with white interior. Another nice keeper.
I say let the world decide it is truly collector grade quality those were such nice cars!
Auction at Barrett Jackson... Marti Report permitting. Yo, shout out to Papa Paulie... Santa's helper. :) Beautiful automobile. Good find.
You know what Anthony? I think you did!! You hit the nail on the head. You got the last one buddy!!!!!
Can't wait til you show it🙂
God that’s beautiful, Anthony. Wow.
Wow. She looks like she just came down the assembly line. She’s so perfect
Sell it Anthony and Papa, that is a great car, and you can't beat those southern cars with no rust, and hey....I don't know why anyone would dislike the carriage top on those cars, they add a little extra something to them!!! Keep up the good work I love your channel!!
By the way, I like the content you provide in your videos. You are amazing
If it's the last Town Car made that year you should definitely keep it. That to rare you might regret selling the last 97 Town Car ever made.
Hey Anthony and papa 👴🏻 🐻 I love the Lincoln town car The color and the carriage roof major plus good find Anthony 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Super nice Town Car! You should keep it.
I use to have a '97, loved that car, my favorite year!
Hey Anthony Hey Papa Bear, I had a 99 Presidential Touring Sedan that was really cherry. I remember you could change the rear level ride to just coil over with a kit on the car you just received. You need to keep it for your private stash if the Marti report says it a odd one. Thank You 🙏 love your videos.
I've never seen those wheels before. One more car I need to lust after, thanks . LOL
Hey Anthony and Papa Bear, what an amazing find. That '97 Lincoln Town Car is truly MAGNIFICANT. The color combination is stunning... In my book, that would be a "keeper".
I found that the Wixom plant in MI produced the last 1997's in September for sure.
I hope you make a video of your marti report
The first time I've seen you this excited about a find, but I can see why. One of many excellent vehicles you have . Never lose your passion for cars. If you auction this one put a substantial start bid and reserve on it. I beleive It's The undercarriage shot that will cinch the deal. As always great job Anthony.
Chk that air intake on the passenger side by the windshield cowl. Once the seal is dried out water gets in the passenger side, front to back.
In the south 25 yrs it's a Antique still rides like a new lincoln Towncar remember I had 1 sweet luxury all day long
Absolutely a beautiful car. I think you should list it and sell it
Sell it on Bring a Trailer. This car was someone's pride and joy. It was garaged and only driven on special occasions. What a great find. Hi to Papa Bear!
The car is just gorgeous, Love it. Great find. I wish you would find me a very old Cadillac with air that comes out of the trunk into the ceiling. It has to be a Fleetwood 1955, no 56is. Ha Ha. Love your shows I have on You Tube.
Absolutely pristine hands down
What a dream collection of Cadillacs and Lincolns,i like the Benz too!👌
I would pay it forward to someone who can't compete with big bucks guys. That's me. And my opinion. Struggling and never owning new as my dad did, we grow to appreciate it super low mileage find. That never comes in ones life time. I pray 🙏 you feel this to whomever you sell it, too. I'm glad to see your finds and the caddilacs you find they are back from my day I won't settle for a small or a full size car I love boats or land yacht is its called today. I never had passed a 91 in my life with any car. You grow to appreciate older cars when you driven nothing but them. The Grand Marquis lincoln pkg you had was a beauty. I couldn't afford it but glad to see them. Maybe one day I will hit the lottery and go after one, the 97 for me is the last year of the largest lincoln for that time era.. Hopefully, this car will go to a deserving person, not a privileged one. .. whatever you do with it. Give it a heart felt decision. Heck it might be gone now since I've written this 13 days later.. lol God bless you papa bear and the family....
That's a beauty, even if it's not a Caddy!
Beautiful
Hey Anthony & Papa Bear, this late 97 Town Car is stunning & very special indeed!!! My guess is that the old girl special ordered this car & really pampered it. I can't wait to see what the Marti report tells you!!! Thanks for sharing your latest purchase & for the update on some of your other cars!!! 👍👍🙂
Beautiful car!
It is so beautiful.
Looks beautiful One I would love to drive.
Sweet, I hope you got a Gem, I see you guys are still super busy... , you'll do well with that Car.... run it through Barrett Jackson... lol
The car is soo gorgeous I need one of these at some point 😍😍
I knew someone that bought the identical 97 1 yr old in 98 from Nives Rizza Lincoln outside of Chicago! They retired and moved to Texas
It's a beautiful car, can't believe the miles and condition of it.
Built at the wixom assembly plant in wixom Michigan its a Menards now. They tore down the factory!
That car is definitely special order
Another beautiful car find, could you please get these beauty's out faster so I can buy one before I die.
You have the greatest car's! Put a price on it!!!!
You do have a mystery on your hands and one hell of a car!!
Beautiful Detroit cruise.
Pretty cool ride for sure! Only thing missing for me is the factory moonroof....that would make it perfect. Someone will get one great ride!
I thought I had spotted Texas plates at the beginning, I live in Texas us how. I had recognize the plates. Beautiful Lincoln.
Hello Anthony I saw that on the door 97 now very important open the hood look at the EPA label what year does that say in the engine compartment
Very nice 😀
Anthony,that car is beautiful,the last of what I consider a real Lincoln. Those whitewall tires and canvas top finish that car off! You have as usual a great find! Best to you and Dad,and family! Thanks for another great video.

Love it 🙂
Would it make sense to bring it to the Raleigh Classic Car auction in May? Specially if it’s the last one?
Definitely would like a video on that Mercedes
That's a beauty
I didn't know they put the fuel filter on the drivers side. My 85 is on the passenger side. Always liked the looks of the 90-97 but never owned one. Came close though!
Does anyone make that lighted rear bar? Such a nice find! I need something a little rougher/cheaper.
That would be awesome if it was the last one ever built. That would be a keeper for life. It also reminds me of why you can never trust dates of production to determine a model year. I manage an auto parts store & I always tell my guys to ask for the VIN, and only ask for the DOP if the part in question asks for it. My uncle had a 2000 Taurus that was DOP 9/00, same situation as this Town Car. I had a 2006 Mercury Montego that was DOP 6/05. A friend of mine in high school had a 2008 Scion tC that was DOP 3/07! The craziest one I ever remember seeing was a 1995 Mazda Millennia, first model year for those, DOP was 11/93!!! Had to have been one of the first ever built.
yeah I'm from Pittsburg that's a beautiful car I would say that car is worth ten Grand maybe even more with that low-mileage in the condition that it's in
Is that pretty is that silver,? Hard to tell on computer. Glad you tell colors.
Bring-a-trailer for sure. No reserve! You'll be amazed.
Price is going up by the minute…😂. Awesome car…💯💯🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would take that 97 Lincoln over anything that making now !
