When I was in high school, my Dad gave me his old 93 Town Car. It was a total piece of shit; only one of the windows worked, the rear door panels were missing, it slipped in every gear, the trunk filled with water when it rained, and I loved it. It was extremely comfortable, I could fit 7 people in comfort, and it never broke down once during its 350k mile life, aside from a dead battery. I even went rallying with it (not competitively) a few times, and it may have been the slowest thing on the road, but nobody that rode in it got out without a smile on their face. I was really sad when it went to the junkyard, and even though I have a new(er) car, I'm still on Craigslist every week looking for old Lincolns. Not that you care, but that's my Lincoln story

Not really, a sports car is pretty easy to define, while a normal car has a lot more to talk about. Comfort vs performance, acceleration vs fuel economy, good looks vs usefulness... In a sports car, most of those "rivalries" easily go to one thing or the other since they only have one purpose For example, one "non-average" car I could talk a lot about is just any kind of performance SUV. Are they really quick? Are they comfortable? Why would somebody buy this against a performance big sedan, which are cheaper? Do not most look damn similar? Who created such car and why?

If you want to feel the road, you buy a smaller sporty car with a stick shift. If you want to cruise around in comfort, there aren't many cars that have done it better than this.

Town Cars were incredibly expensive in 1990's dollars. They were great cars and very advanced and safe for 20 years ago and still fuel efficient in today's standards for a vehicle of equal weight. I hated watching you torture that 20 year old car, but truthfully it won't hurt it. The 4.6 is a very robust engine and the AODE/4R70W is probably among the most durable transmissions on the market. On the 1991-95 4.6, watch the engine oil level closely as the valve seals get old and allow the car to devour a quart of oil in as little as 250 miles. I have a 95 Town Car and 2 2003 Town Cars and love them.

Any air suspension car whether it's air assist or air springs like this will vent when it's turned off. If they don't there is a problem with the system which normally will be throwing a code. To check for a leak turn off the air suspension in trunk with the switch while the car is on. This will prevent it venting and if it drops say overnight there is a leak. Then it's time to get a spray bottle of soapy water and start checking for leaks.

My first wife an I got a free upgrade from the Hertz branch manager at Miami airport, because we were on our honeymoon. Instead of the booked full-size two-door he gave us a 1993 Town Car. Dark blue with black interior. We had arrived late at night and when we eventually got to sit in our luxury ride, my wife said "Ok, start her up, let's go!" I replied "I already did! The engine is running!" She was speechless (that one time) The roomy interior, the plush leather seats, the glow of the digital dash-board, the inaudible engine, etc. left a lasting impression. 25 years later I can still smell and feel the "over the top" impression of luxury. Meanwhile I've driven and owned much more expensive, much more advanced and engineering-wise superior cars. But none of those ever managed to provide the same kick to me as this 1993 Town Car did back then.

Oddly enough, the thing that stuck out most to me was how nearly everything on the interior was labelled in English as if there weren't any other languages out there. It was a stark contrast to the Volvos my family had with pictograms all over the place, and only text when absolutely necessary and only using words that were as universally understood as possible. Come to think of it, cars with text written in the home country's language really add a nice touch of personality. But, if I'm not mistaken, pictograms are now the law of the land.

Known in some circles as "battle stance" or "functional stance" it emphasizes on a little camber in the back and more camber up front for better corner entry, which why many touring cars have a lot of frontal negative camber, a good example would be the E46 that matt farah put up against a fiesta ST

Pretty damn clean Lincoln. Personally I think those Lincolns look much better with white walled tires. Also, that's a somewhat unique color, I think it's Desert Coral Metallic.

My dad used to have a 2001 Crown Vic and it was a pretty nice car. Sure it was big and sure it chugged gas but it ran smooth and had lots of room. It was the exact same paint color as our police department's unmarked cars, so nobody dared blaze past you on the freeway. Unfortunately,the lack of that black trunk panel, the push bar, and the presence of a trailer hitch kind of gave us away. The hitch was also the car's undoing when some woman in a Corolla lost her brakes and slammed into the rear of the car. The impact went through the hitch and bent the frame. Which was enough for the insurance company to bail on it. Now my dad owns the most boring car in America: an eighth-gen Chevy Impala.

I loved my 93 Grand marquis as my first real car that took me many many places, I have a video of me doing a cross country trip just shy of 1000kms each way plus side roads in two days, I drove it to and from work every day which was an hour and a half each direction. I bought the car at 89,999 kms for 1100$ safetied and etested , Needed a rear bumper painted and some fresh yoko touring S on solid aluminum drag rims lowered it a half inch to reduce body roll as it has ALOT of weight to transfer. I also had a magna flow exhaust and a cheap SC kit off a scrapped 94 stang. turned out just past the rear passenger door and sounded like a beast! It got to 157,000 before coming home to seeing it was subject to hit and run and had a bent frame.. Crab walked to the store to get a cold one and say adios as i stripped her down and drove her open header to the burial grounds

I think overdrive doubles the gear ratio which halves revs or something so that you can cruise on the highway and get good mileage. Something like that.
@GMdrivingMOPARguy9 жыл бұрын
Overdrive is just a mechanical term meaning the imput gear is turning slower than the output gear. Any car made from the 80's on has an overdrive gear. Even on a manual transmission, your 5th gear is overdriven.
@thegt4man9 жыл бұрын
Overdrive works as a really tall gear for cruising at higher speeds. On the plus side, it lowers the engine rpm, reducing fuel consumption and engine wear. On the downside it kills acceleration. And we also have Overdrive here in Europe, but it is no longer used because now gearboxes have 6, 7 or even 8 gears, making it not necessary. Back in the times when a car had 3 or 4 speed gearboxes, overdrive would be necessary because in the highest gear some cars would be at high revs (4500-5000rpm) at highway speeds, making any reduction in rpm necessary to reduce noise and engine wear and increase fuel economy

My late father's '92 Crown Vic has under 20K miles and still smells new. I drove it over the summer on the highway and the transmission started chattering for a while, scared the wits out of me but it went away after 1/4 mile and never happened again. My mechanic said it's probably because the car has never been in overdrive over the last 22 years and all it needed was a good Italian tuneup.

Mercury and lincolns had the TIN frame, vic was steel. Merc and Lincoln bodies were a tad more cushy riding...but this comes at the cost of a little hard-corner-handling & stiffness found in the Vic - not that you should be seriously interested in that in a Town Car. My grandmother had a 92 - she chose a Grand Marquis instead of paying more for the Town Car because it's largely the same vehicle. One thing's for sure, it's one phenomenal highway car. You could run over a whole family of deer and your drink will still be in the cupholder.

I miss my parents 1989 Crown Vic. It may not have been as fancy as the Town Car but it still was really nice. Those huge overstuffed velour seats God I miss that car. Even had Wing windows or smoker windows. That thing would just suck up the bumps like a fat kid would suck up a bag of Cheetos. Even though it was a Crown Victoria it just floated along the road. Even though it have the half vinyl Landau top. God,I miss that car... I know this video is old s*** more than 4 years old and you'll never see this comment, oh well. Dude, I love your Channel.

There were only around 300 blue ones made and are very rare to find. Now there were only 250 Trilogy supercharged kits made so those are even more rare to find. One day I hope to find a decent marauder. Ive 3 crown vics and a grand marquis myself actually. They truly do not makes cars like these anymore.

Town Car is a really lovely car. It wasn't that long ago that people really aspired to own these cars, and not in a hipsterish ironic way, but as a symbol of having made it in middle class America / Canada. I think we've something like along the way where lesser cars are so well equipped and the automotive status symbol is generally a performance oriented European car appealing to a younger buyer,

I don't think that you should hate the Lincoln just because it doesn't meet your testosterone requirements. The town car is a character. It doesn't have to be fast or powerful. It's a great, classic car especially when you don't always try to compare it to a corvette or some shit like that.
