From Wikipedia
Featuring a standard V8 engine, body-on-frame design, rear-wheel drive and large exterior and interior dimensions,[2] the Town Car was based on the Ford Panther platform. This gave it powertrain and suspension commonality with the Mercury Grand Marquis and the Ford LTD Crown Victoria (later the Crown Victoria). This design made them durable even in the rough conditions taxi and livery cars are subjected to, and easy and cheap to repair when they did suffer damage.[3] Town Cars are typically operated in commercial service for at least 400,000 miles.[3]
Its large dimensions made it the largest car in production in North America. From 1997 to 2011, the Town Car was the longest car (but not the heaviest) built in the Western Hemisphere, measuring nearly 18 feet (5.49 m) in length for a standard Town Car and 18.5 feet (5.64 m) for an L Edition.[4
Lincoln is also believed to be preparing a true Town Car successor on a rear-wheel drive platform to rival the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-series
The Town Car underwent a minor exterior facelift for the 1995 model year. Changes to the exterior included smaller, clear headlights as well as additional running lights in the rear. Larger door mirrors were body-colored (formerly chrome), and were moved slightly forward on the door itself. Updated bumpers front and rear, new body side moldings, and the deletion of the small fixed window in the rear doors completed the exterior changes. The antenna was removed from the outside of the car and integrated into the rear window.[16]
1995 also saw the introduction of a new steering wheel, which was used in all Panther-based sedans from 1998 to 2004.[16] In addition to the cruise control buttons,.
Also introduced in 1995 was a new digital dash layout (replacing the unit used since 1993) that featured a more italicized look to the readouts, while the exterior temperature readout moved from the dash cluster to the climate control panel. A "miles to go" trip computer feature was added. Dual power recliners with lumbar support-as well as a three-position driver's seat and mirror memory function became standard (formerly optional) on Signature Series which could be assigned to the keyless entry remotes as well as the up to four personal keyless entry codes. Heated seats were a new option, and door panel switches now featured (slight) illumination from a lamp located below the interior door handle. Power door lock switches were back-lit, and were mounted high up on the driver and passenger door panels. The fuel door release (previously mounted in the center dash panel) and trunk release button moved from inside the glove compartment to the lower driver's side door panel. Similar to the previous year, Signature and Cartier models featured dual clamshell storage armrests up front with cassette storage, coin holder, and an optional Cell phone. The 1997 Cartier models held dual cup holders in the rear center armrest, and offered lighted vanity mirrors in the headliner for the two outboard rear seating positions.
With the demise of the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham after 1996, the Town Car became the last of its kind: the last American full-size, rear-wheel drive luxury car. The demise of the Fleetwood also made the Town Car the largest mass-produced car available in North America.

outstanding car. I owned a 99 cadillac seville sts and oh boy it was a nightmare owning it. Never couldnt really enjoy the car, problems after another. With just 73,000 miles on the odometer, i Had to replace the radiator twice, water pump twice, power steering hose once, fuel pump once, later began to burn oil out of nothing and transmission problems later on. i later sold it cheap to a friend. my friend quickly junked it soon after for consistent problems. i eventually bought a 2001 lincoln town car and wow what a difference. ive had it for four years now and no problems whatsoever. no "check engine" light has ever turned on. the car has 186,600 miles on It and still runs sweet as a nut to this day and just love it. Lincoln is definetely a very reliable car.

[@ABoeing-ER]

Parents used to have a '97 Towncar in the beautiful Silver, and you damn well bet I fought to get them to keep it, but instead my father bought an '08 Buick Enclave and damn all that thing is good for is bringing us back and forth between recalls, the airbags, the power steering, the lift gate, I believe the differentials and the damn seatbelt a too. Whole family regrets it.

[@ronalddavis3827]

Just bought me a 1997 town car at a auction for 950 bucks that was donated for a charity to help them . I got one hell of a car with one small dent in the trunk that can be banged out andcuff on the passenger side bumper in the front . Its black and the paint is still shiney as hell. Must have been garage kept but i dont trust the miles its showing of 68,279 . But who knows .........

[@wattson3683]

Do you still have it?

[@TheLEGACY1980]

I was in LOVE with these Town Cars in the 90's. Loved every one that was made from 90-96..beautiful cars! ~L. Blake

[@nfullenwider]

My God, I remember lusting after this car when I was six or seven. It was the first car I ever wanted.

[@lorenzofrancis4344]

This model is the last generation of the classic body style,true mafia car when its in black

[@fingersmcgee2762]

i had a black with black leather and moonroof finally sold it a little over a year ago

[@hoodie7257]

fingersmcgee wish I could find that, sounds perfect

[@Lorenzo-wl5xt]

​@@fingersmcgee2762You had the perfect color combination plus the moonroof

[@enriquepena6908]

lincoln town car, what a luxury car should be, very nice car

[@rodgers544]

Love it. I really like Lincoln's. I actually prefer them over Caddy's.

[@fingersmcgee2762]

towncar has a tighter ride you feel like it handles tighter like a smaller car ,, the brougham floats ,, id say brougham is nicer on long highway trips n towncar is better in city

[@TheTerminator310]

Cadillac is garbage, lol. No comparison to the Panther's. And the reliability of these is unsurpassed.

[@Christopher-et7bc]

They last way longer than a Cadillac and get better fuel mileage. I know a had a 91 brougham and I currently have a 1997 Towncar

[@TheRedQueensChamber]

One of the features you missed is that this Lincoln can recognize up to 3 different fob's. As soon as you unlock the the car it determines which driver it is and automatically adjust the seats and accessories for that programmed fob/driver.

[@jimjardine4705]

How about stating the price????

[@ScoobyDrewski]

Love these cars! have had 3 already. getting a 4th, A 97 with 32k miles. can't wait should get it next week

[@tfilter6]

+drew41428 Just picked up a 97 with 42K, already love it. Needed new front brake pads and the blend door actuator for AC. Fixed those, Put new air springs (just cause old ones were --well--"old) changed fluids, put new white stripe 16" tires on it, and now it's perfect and looks and drives like a brand new car. Quite, smooth, easy to drive, comfortable. just great.

[@ScoobyDrewski]

+C Jorgenson nice! I need some new tires. mine was sitting in a garage for a few years b4 it was mine just a little dry rot

[@sesc_5732]

i had a 1991 and 2003 ... its nice cars ...i am from saudi arabia ..

[@novidsheremovealong1893]

I love the heavy clunck of the doors on these cars, very distinct sound, like the sound of an m1 ping

[@PhilOsGarage]

Hey Nathan, love these videos. I've been recovering from knee surgery and pretty much unable to leave the house for the last three weeks, an iPad and your videos has helped keep me sane! I've run all sorts of cars from euro / Japanese to us domestic (I'm in the uk) shame you guys don't get all of the euro models, we have some neat SEAT models (pronounced say-at) very much a golf / Audi A3 but way better looking, the turbo models are very fast, and some had 5 valves per cylinder like the TT. There was also a SEAT Ibiza cupra, like a vw polo but with a TT 1.8 turbo engine - hot little car.

[@PhilOsGarage]

I think at least some of Latin America got them, you could probably bring one up from Mexico.

[@buba4267]

My grandma used to have a car like this. She sold it and got a 2003 Lexus instead. I miss that car so much. I remember driving around Woodland Hills with me and my brother singing loudly to " witchy woman " by the eagles. XD

[@philiptucci2458]

Beautiful Town car, I love Lincoln's, I have been driving them for over 40 years, great comfortable vehicles

[@douglaswells6656]

Yes The Lincoln Town Car is Very Comfortable Especially riding in the Back

[@douglaswells6656]

I also Been Inside of the 2003 to 2011 Model Year's

[@Lorenzo-wl5xt]

​@@douglaswells6656Totally right. As comfortable as a brand new Rolls Royce can be. Long live Town Cars

[@seanmcgivney7631]

Your videos give off a great comfort vibe.

[@CerealMarshmallows]

Glad you like them!

[@fergusphone12]

I know man! I have a 96 towncar and I always have to smile when I open and close the door =)

[@MarchettiAutomobili]

Im 17 and i wish i could drive this. My grandfather has a '98 Caddy Eldorado ETC Edition. I love the old heavy cars with V8's. Best built cars ever. If only American's could build them this good today...

[@joe27077]

I have two of these! I love them!

[@tropicallover19]

I have always dreamed of having a Town Car. My 2007 Grand Marquis is close enough.

[@douglaswells6656]

I Remember These Lincoln Town Car From 1995 to 1997 Back in the day when I was in High School I used to take a ride When the use them As Taxis

[@donovan5317]

I drive a '98 Crown Vic and ever since I've fallen in love with it and Town Cars too.

[@KoldingDenmark]

Drove these cars frequently throughout the 1990's. Absolutely love them. On top of that the gas milage is impressive.

[@HelmickArt]

I get 24 around town with Premium Fuel and Synthetic oil...270,000 miles... amazingly durable cars...If I plow into a Prius..it would be like hitting a pot hole...

[@WoZIMoo]

Man, the sound those handles make on them old Town Cars is just bad-ass. Makes a heavy, metallic clunk. They just don't make them like they used to, nowadays car doors opening and closing sound like cardboard, even the new Mercedes doors don't sound the same as the old "vault" doors.

[@Loucuyno]

We have a 92' similar body style! Beautiful condition! With 68,158mi on it right now! And if your air ride suspension is in good condition the ride is amazing! Wish it had alil more though! Kinda sluggish off the for a V8!

[@tylerjackson4168]

FYI we had a town car former limo come in our shop for a pre purchase. it had 517,019 miles on it. all original records from the limo company, mostly scheduled maintenance as well as most of the rubber suspension pieces replaced around 400k. we gave it green light.

[@Nylonfetish1]

I am the second owner of a 97 Town Car that now has 74,000 actual miles. It had 66,000 miles when i bought it 4 years ago.

[@Lorenzo-wl5xt]

You don't drive it enough. Shame on you

[@infinity3jif]

i just bought a 1996 town car, it seems to get pretty good gas mileage for it to be a 4000lb car, i had a 1994 vic that got good mpgs too, you just gotta be easy on the gas pedal save the redlining for the weekend bro :lol:

[@jeepguy95]

My grandfather has a 1994, all digital dash, every option except a sunroof and CD player. My one grandmother has a 2004 with all options, really great cars! (:

[@buddybubble3264]

when the reverse gear was engaged and the steering wheel was turned, my driving instructor from germany would say "Don't wash the dishes!", because i should use booth hands to turn the wheel. XD greetings from leipzig in germany, i watch youir videos to get some information and a detailed look about some cars :)

[@xdavstratx]

sooo many memories my dad had a 1995 towncar and in 2008 he sold it to my uncle who still owns it i miss it alot

[@bluecadillac]

I have the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Executive Signature Congressional Edition. Brand new list price was right at $60.000 with the complete options package. Last of the American made square Lincolns. In 1998, production would move to Canada with a more rounded look.

[@dangoodman123]

bluecadillac I know the Lincoln came with a bit more bling than the CV's and GM's, but I have the base model 97 Grand Marquis (a GS), and the only real features missing (at about half the price new) are EATC (auto temp control), which can lead to expensive and/or time consuming repairs inside the dash; ABS, which I don't want, as I have to drive in snow and know how to fan a set of brakes; and rear air suspension, a softer ride but a notorious failure point often converted to coilsprings in midlife. The only other things are cosmetic "toys" like an autodimming mirror, compass, external temperature readout, and sequential turn signals...all neat little gadgets of almost no utility, merely items to show off and to break. I wouldn't turn down a TC, but I also wouldn't spend twice as much money on one. My GM has plenty of useful addons, such as interior lights front and rear, left and right, autodimming interior and exterior lights, lighted visor mirror, etc. But FoMoCo must have had one helluva profit margin on the TC's, given that they were basically $30K CV's with no more than $10K more of options. But with all that said, with the exception of a few of the elongated rectangle body Cadillacs from the seventies, there are NO Cadillacs as nice as these beasts.

[@elchrisvaldez2058]

man these cars last forever ..hate the airbags thought..thinking about getting another one..good video..I like your honesty showing the good bad and the ugly..I'd say the mpg is fair

[@lightningbuster]

Also those aren't Xenon headlights, they're basic halogens. The Xenons are the blue lights that require ballasts for operation, which aren't factory in cars until 2011.

[@chazpozzi]

I had a 96 and love it! Very reliable engines

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Me gusta el carro un Lincoln Town Car 1997; está muy bonito; es la primera vez que veo ése carro; saludos y buenas tardes

[@Finesse460]

Those Town Cars are really, really comfortable!! They're boats to drive, but so worth the drive. Sometimes I wonder how much it costs to refill a tank lmfao but it's an awesome car! This one you Featured looks great! That red paint looks totally great.

[@BoardwalkBullies]

not what you'd think. They're 18-19 gallons. Not far removed from T-bird/Cougar/Mark VIII size. A Chevy Caprice is a killer to fill, 23 gallons, and with the LT1, they run better on premium, even though I could afford it back then, I never filled it up unless I was going some place far, easily 100 bucks. They actually get pretty good mileage on a long trip, I drove almost 500 miles on a single tank once.

[@Finesse460]

I see. Well, I heard if you change the Oxygen sensors on Lexus/Toyota V8's, like in my Celsior for example, you get 19/24 mpg rather than 15 or 14 mpg. Maybe the same goes for american cars.. But yes: They get excellent gas mileage on highways as usual.. high gear, low RPM= Great gas.

[@rickyhess6071]

Just bought a '96 town car with 130k original miles on it. It takes 87 regular and gets 17.5mpg combined despite the fact its 24 years old I use it as my regular daily driver. Besides little things like the fuel door, air filter and such it's been reliable.

Hey Nathan I own a 1997 Lincoln Town Car signature series, with 150k miles, mint condition, no issues at all, what would you say it's worth?

[@ebwholesaler]

+Kevin Griffey Have 2 1998's Lincoln Signature Presidential for sale : One $ 3,995.00 (100 k miles mint condition) The other one i would not sell under $ 7,500.00 (It's in museum quality condition) Around 73,000 miles. Yours could be from $ 2,000.00 to $ 3,000.00 (cause it is the older model) Note: that the value i'm asking for my cars is the Maximum decent retail price i could possibly, reasonably get if i find the right buyer (which is hard to do) On the negotiation, i can go down 1000 to 1500 easy. So it does give you an idea of what my value, compared to what an actual BUYER would offer is a big difference. Cost? (You can get them from 1$ to 2000$ at auctions...) But they will be junkyard pieces almost... We are talking 'la creme the la creme' which means ABSOLUTELY nothing to repair except maybe fill up the a/c. So that's why a good example like the one he is showing, would probably sell for $ 3495 (my guess)asking price. Buyers offering no more than 3000. Good luck on your sale, please do not hesitate to post about it !

[@ThomasFG]

Signature series was alright but i prefered and loved the Cartier more

[@dougtaylor2803]

My mechanic says he loves these cars because they are easy to work on and will give you very few problems.

[@Watcher3223]

Gary Taylor About the only real complication in a Panther platform car is if it has automatic leveling air ride rear suspension. Other than that, that's pretty much the case; easy to work on and few problems when properly maintained.

[@tfilter6]

+Watcher3223 The air suspension system is really very easy to work on. Takes about 30 min to change out an air spring (including jacking the car and removing the wheel). and if you change out the air springs as soon as they start to leak so that you notice (either rear end drops when parked overnight, or the CHECK AIR SUSPENSION light comes on while you are driving (that's when the air spring has a pretty big leak). the compressor will last a long time. If you let the compressor take up the slack for a bad leak, it will wear out the compressor quickly. sprigs are real easy to remove, two large screwdrivers and long nose pliers. New springs install requiring zero tools, they just snap in. I've heard of dealers charging $1500 for doing this, they should be arrested. springs cost $100 each for good ones, and compressors are about $300. I have rigged in a $20 compressor (from walmart) intended for airing tires, and it worked fine for over 5 years, was just a bit noisy.

[@Watcher3223]
