I owned both a "78 & '77. Loved and appreciated them both for what they were. Granted, some could possibly mistake these cars for a small shopping centers, but so be it. Many a trips from Portland to the coast & Seattle and back were made through the years. I considered it a "first class upgrade".

Another beautiful car! When I got my mercury cougar brand new in 1976, I got a couple sets of keys. The one set had a couple of thin metal round shape disc about the size of a nickel, that had numbers on. The salesman said to take both disc off the key ring and put in a safe, or a safe place, he said if I ever lost my car keys, you could take that disc with the numbers on or copy the numbers off and the dealership could make new keys for the car. Just wondering if you ever heard of that. I still have the car and both disc with numbers on.

If you want a Lincoln town car this is as good as you will ever find. The 8000 miles one here in trhe UK is still for sale, for me it's blue interior is not as desirable as this one is. Best of luck with the bidding Bill, there can't be many left in this condition.

A car like that does not need to be and should not be fast or quick. Its main purpose is to provide smooth and comfortable cruising, isolating the occupants from the road, which it does better than any other car out there.

Yes, absolutely! That is why I do hundreds of pictures, many videos with full transparency. Most all of my customers buy from out of State, pay for the car and then send a truck. I have done over 200 auctions on Bring a Trailer and I show everything. I want the car to arrive to you and meet or exceed your expectations! Thanks and good luck if you decide to bid.
