This 2005 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited was the last great traditional American car *SOLD*

[@triroa]

20 years old with a 2005 signature towncar and I love it so much. No one my age understands until I let them take a ride.

[@Mr.Everything]

I’ve been driving a Grand Marquis since I was 21. My first car was a Dodge Stealth, which was a blast, but I actually prefer the Grand Marquis by a good margin. Also aside from basic maintenance, it’s never had any significant issues which I can’t say about my last car.

[@LoganVega]

same here! I have a mint 2005, still has plastic on the kick plates and I love my leather sofa on wheels

[@MarkEspinola]

You would have loved the Lincolns from the 1970s with their very plush rides, exceedingly comfortable seating, loads of room, and very powerful engines.

[@rexcars1835]

triroa Nothing wrong with that. My first car at 16 was a 67 Lincoln Coupe. That was back when Chevelles and Super Bees were common. It's still big cars and small women for me. 👍

I used to think i was the only kid who loved large sedans. While most guys my age are into Hondas and other sports cars. I prefer large american sedans like the Caprice, Town Car, and Deville. name

Just bought an immaculate, one-owner 2006 Signature Limited (w/ Sunroof), G4 Tricoat Metallic, factory chrome wheels with 17k actual miles. A true "creme puff" find. Absolutely loving it! What a coach!

[@JohnSmith-wd9rc]

I have the 07 Town Car, in black. Gave $2100 for it. It had 295 K mikes. Now at 350K. Gets good mileage, easy to work on, and lots of room. The 4.6 is probably the best V8 I have ever owned. Damn shame Ford decided to discontinue the panther platform. They were built the way cars should be built, on a frame, not stamped out of tin sheets.

Unless it’s a Classic Mercedes (which I’d define as anything until the W124/W126), then, I’d agree. You can get about 100,000 miles out of a more modern Mercedes (W140, for example), but after that, you’re just gonna start lighting money on fire.

Love my 2006 of the same color. This car is the little known gem. Mine has 105000 and was owned ny a retired Ford mechanic. He replaced the recalled rack and pinion himself. You did a top notch job on this vid a few tears back, but you are dead on even today.

[@acts2211]

Very clean, very nice Town Car. And having that 6-cd changer in 2005 was definitely a major upgrade. Most of the early 2005 Town Cars, even the signature limited came standard with a single CD/ cassette player which of course is totally obsolete today. Great presentation of a great American icon.

My biggest car mistake was buying a Cadillac Deville instead of a Town Car. Can’t believe I was so stupid. The Lincoln is so much better than a junk Cadillac and it’s horrible Northstar engine. Mine blew the head gasket within 2 years and drank 2 quarts of oil every 900 miles. If I had bought a TC I would still be driving it today

Only issues outside of batteries plugs filters and tires to be replaced AC compressor once rear air bags once gas tank and alternator engine still has plenty of compression and go to it transmission shifts great. I believe in synthetic motor oil with Lucas additives in the Tranny and engine. I’ll have 600,000 by the end of July.

[@242HP]

I had this exact model and year of Town Car for about 1 1/2 years with slightly less miles when I bought it. They're good, but not without their issues. A common problem is water leaking into the passenger floor because of a poor design of the vent air intake at the cowl. The foam rubber gasket deteriorates over time and lets water in. The carpet padding is so thick you may not even realize you have water underneath it until mold starts developing and smelling up your car. Water also gets in through hood release cable. My parking sensors no longer worked. The cheap plastic parts on the interior of the doors break easily.
