Looking Great love the projector headlights ❤

Loved it completely. And yes, don't ever get rid of it. You will regret it. I've had people say to me they had one sold it, and now they miss it. I'm at 234,591 miles on my 2008 Lincoln town car. Rides smooth and the airbags are still good. These cars will never die. Just keep up the maintenance.

You can't beat the sound of a Cadillac horn!

Yo Aharon, Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time. -Chuck

Hey Chuck, Thanks for stopping by

not an early 99....remember 1998 and early 99's did not have the keypad on the driver's door.... also for all 1999's side air bags were standard equipment, optional in 98... love the hood ornament added...

Just got a '99 LTC. Had a '98. Kept it going for 9 years.

If it's just the chassis that's rusty you can chassis swap it with a newer one and upgrade the front suspension and steering...there's always a way to keep it alive...Just every time you make a big replacement, make it a big upgrade instead since your already replacing the parts

Car looks so much better without the vinyl top. I will say I've never been a huge fan of the look of these personally, but I guess it has grown on me over time. Yours in that color and configuration I think looks relatively sharp. But I do still prefer the second gen or the first gen. Should also note, if you want that car to ride like a first or second gen Town Car, you'd have to swap the front and rear springs. Ford progressively upped the spring rates on these first starting in '95 for the front springs, then in '98 for the rears, and '98 also got heavier duty shock absorbers. The biggest thing is the front springs though. I've known a few people who put the 80-94 front springs in 95-97s with good results. Handling isn't really effected much so long as you don't mess with the stabilizer bars.

funny thing is when i changed front springs on my 88 i bought the moog 9114 set which they intend for 98-02 town car. recently i got the front springs and control arms replaced on the 99 this time i bought the Moog 9046 set which moog says is for the older town cars. i think all the moog springs sit higher than factory anyway but the 99 certainly rides really nice with the civilian spec gabriel and motorcraft shocks on it right now. my 88 has heavy duty KYB in the front and i'm OK with them but in the back i have these insane gabriel "load carrier" shocks which i'll be replacing with more KYBs.

@@iliketowncars KYBs are good shocks. I have a set I intend on putting in my Grand Marquis whenever the original ones finally kick the bucket.

Also...How did you get into the headlights? I have a set of the hard to get Marauder style headlights from headlights depot that would look Siiiiick with Projectors.

the headlamp has 3 parts, the lens and two assemblies. the inner assembly holds the 9006 adjustable bucket, the outer assembly has the turn signal, corner, and side lamp. baking in the oven was good enough to separate the inner and outer assemblies; but the lamp is big and won't fit in a little oven and the risk of melting it is higher. to get the lens off the outer assembly i had a better time using a heat gun and slowly working around the whole thing. prepare to spend a few nights at it. the sealing material doesn't soften it just cracks which is why all the oem lamps leak. i replaced it with the retrorubber product. i'm not sure if the aftermarket assemblies do things better or worse in these regards. the MLED is a large projector and was tough to fit in these town car lamps.
