After a long day at work, I work overnight, so on my way home I set the cruise control to the speed limit, throw on some tunes and unwind.

They'll hold 6 in comfort. New Status Urban Vehicles can't do that.

@@HiroNguy Oh I know they can hold more but I meant in total stretch out comfort with space in between 4 people will feel miles apart in there.

@@IKhanNot Depends on our sizes of course.

Yea, but why not do it in a superior German land yacht which will cruise as chill and comfortably , but at twice the speed? That's what killed these cars in the end actually, the fact that they just couldn't keep up with German luxury sedans which just became so much more advanced and capable they made these cars feel like they were stuck 30 years in the past. It's easy to make a comfortable car that nobody's ever gonna drive faster than 70-80 mph, with super soft and floaty suspension and soft seats. But once you have the option to drive a car that's gonna cruise at 150, be more stable than your old car at 70, and more quiet and smooth at the same time, then you kinda start seeing why these cars died off. I mean, drive this Lincoln, or any any Cadillac from the period, back to back with something like a BMW 5 or 7 series from the mid 90's, and you'll realize the absolutely massive difference between them. It's like comparing a steam locomotive to a bullet train. The old stuff has a certain charm, yes, and, but they don't have the capability objectively speaking.

AMEN.....

Agreed! 👍

@megatop412 You learn a sense of discipline that way too!

and it was for luxury and it was for Show fours to drive around

So true man, and thanks man for checking out the Town Car vid from Friday!

That’s how my 77 was

The air ride suspension... My dads 97' Expedition came with it, and by the time it came to replace the bags, he had to drop close to a grand with parts and labor at the dealer.

And then you encountered a corner and died on it.

@@johno9507 I have a Honda Accord. Can I change the shocks or struts to make it ride like a Lincoln?

True story!!! I have an MKS, and a Cadillac CTS . The MKS is on its THIRD MOTOR, actually getting installed as we speak (the car only has 83,000 miles on it. So first engine was warranty covered, had new one put in for not a single dime. Had to fight Lincoln for two months to uphold their “warranty promise” then of course the second, now third are on me. 10k for just the motor🤦‍♀️ And the Cadillac it had 110,000 miles, my mechanic told me it was getting ready to blow so traded that thing off!!! I’m going foreign next!!!!

Yep! My dream car

their really not worth much

Haha! I know I need to do better with keeping some things private. On another note, I also have a bad habit of leaving the keys in the car too. Double whammy.

@@hullinger I'm a cop in MD near DC and majority of the many many many cars that get stolen here and end up chasing are cars that have the damn keys (especially the fobs on the keyless start newer cars) left in them🤦🏽. Gotta cut that shit out. Too nice of a car to let some asshole destroy it, crash them hop in the next unlocked car

@@hullinger I believe you can press 5*6 to open the trunk...try that!

I spent $1500 on my 93 and it’s great

It's sad that we've got to a point where that statement makes sense.

@@Browningatenot really when you know how well these cars hold their value. KBB is way off on market value of these Panther cars. Money talks. There is a reason why insurance companies go buy local market value rather than Kelley blue book value. I’ve hosed two separate insurance companies before after their first lowball offers by knowing that trick. They offered me $2200 for a Honda Civic and I ended up walking away with $6900.

Please find me one too. :-)

My parents seem to hate them too. I’ll never understand that… maybe it reminds them of their own parents too much 😆

re: "parental hate" People have strange likes/dislikes. Perhaps the appearance of the TownCar is too old man looking ... thus an inborn "hate" for their ... "old man!"

I guess you got to look around a bit. His was on the right support, on my 01 Grand Marquis LS it was on the left support. Maybe it depended on the humor of the employee doing that job on any particular day?

My 2003 Grand Marquis has the factory code sticker on the passenger side trunk lid support as well as being inside the glove box. Note that you can use the factory code to add other user codes to the system. Having your own personal code makes it much easier to remember. One of the things I like about the keypad is that you can leave the keys in the ignition with the car running and lock it with the keypad. This is Handy if you just want to run in to a convenience store or such for a couple minutes without shutting the car off but still having it locked. I think Ford hit gold when they developed this keypad system.

We both agree! Thanks man for checking out the Town Car vid from Friday!

Don't give in! Fight the urge! Don't do it!

Such a great comment and thanks so much for sharing!

First Ford I ever bought w/ the keypad, I looked at it and said "I'll never use that toy." Turned out to be probably the most used feature on the car.

You should see a buick reatta from 1980

@@ernestochang1744 I think you mean Riviera. The Reatta didn't come out until 1988. And the Riviera never had the coded entry. Only Fords.

@@joe6096 the interior of the car was so technological back then youre right i dont think they had those buttons on the door but it revolutionized the standard of touchscreens for ac and stereo and other stuff

@MelloWattz 😃

Do the visors slide left/right? My VW Golf's visors do and I find that VERY handy when I try to block the sun from my left. If the visor isn't reaching, I pull it back and it fixes the problem every time! Also, my car doesn't have side illumination when turning. VW just has the HEADLIGHTS turn like on the old 3-headlight Tuckers! I was shocked when the car did that the first time I drove at night. It only turns a few degrees but it's enough to illuminate that pesky curb that will rip out your bumper if you aren't paying attention!

My LS had that. They definitely put a little “extra” when they got around to the Lincolns.

@Lebron Pryor If I had been you, I would've told that someone if they like a Lexus, then, why don't THEY go and buy one for their self, I'll keep my Lincoln, thank you!

You can also program in a second 5 digit code of your choice.

As well if you hit 8 an 9 at the same time it will lock the doors.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks, as always.

Thats a great tip Bill. Thanks for that and I'll check it out once the rain stops. Take care bud.

the 7-8 key opens trunk

Thanks awesome and I didn't know that about locking the doors too. Thanks!

Our 1988 mercury Cougar XR-7 had / did that too!

The air bags should be turned off any time you lift one or both rear tires off the ground, like when you’re changing a rear tire, or when the car’s on a lift. If you don’t shut it off the rear airbags will over-inflate and could even pop, especially if they’re older bags.

@@lifehappens2370 Thanks! 👍

I believe it also had to do with pedestrian safety.

I don't think I've ever had a car that didn't have a spring loaded grille!! haha!!

1981 to 87 olds cutlass had 2 grills that also moved in an out

@@scottenser464 I don't think the redesigned 1987 model had the movable grilles. The one with the composite headlights, I mean.

@@mexicanspec yes you are correct . It's been some years since I've seen them . I sold a tone of them as a sales rep .

I've been driving a '93 for a few years, and I never knew all the things the buttons could do. After reading this comment, I thought no way those all work and went out to try them. They all work! I can't belive it thank you so much!!

I didn't know that about interior lights and the headlight switch. I just went out to the car and tried it and, bingo! Thanks man and thanks for checking out the Town Car vid from Friday.

Couldn't agree more with you. Thanks man and thanks for checking out the Town Car vid from Friday.

Ya, keypad came out in 1980.

The keypad was introduced in the late 70s. It might be a trademarked feature, since I haven't seen anyone else use it.

Glad you liked it and thanks for checking out the Town Car vid yesterday.

That's some good info and thanks for sharing. Thanks for checking out the Town Car video from Friday too.

​@@ansv3340 No intake was stock- plastic intake was stock for my 97 Town Car, and also my wife's 97 Grand Marquis.

I appreciate that and thanks so much!

Nissan used it in the 80s for a brief time

Man, I totally agree with you about the keypad on the Lincoln. It's totally something the other brands should come out with. I recall seeing an invisible keypad on latter Lincolns where it's hidden in the outside door pillar and you don't even know it's there until it lights up.

My 1987 maxima had the keypad it was lit up by a green bulb at night. Pretty handy

@@CRAPO2011 OK, I did not know that. But apparently nissan did not continue with that

@@kevinbarry71 I think last model to have it was the 1989-1994 maxima. Maximas also had the Cornering light like the town car

And hitting 7/8 and 9/0 together locks everything and arms the alarm system.

I drive an 01 lincoln town car myself. My boss has a navigator from 2018 or 2019 and I have to say it's got all the comfort going over a rough road my tc does with more modern features and power. That level of comfort is only really available in suvs now though which I find disappointing but if it sells it sells.

Loved the cornering lights. My wife has poor vision. Many times if we go out, get back after dark, and forgot to turn on the lights at the sidewalk, I just pull up and turn on the cornering light so she can see where she's going.

Right on and totally agree. Thanks man.

Do you think the globalist will pump gas prices to at least &15 a gallon in the near future?

@@imadtanouticonta either that or make internal combustion illegal. The easiest way is likely to flood the market with electric cars and policy pushing out gas as obsolete and no longer supporting the parts or tech.

@@imadtanouticonta Right now oil companies are not investing in any new projects. Actually many are attempting to transition to so-called green energy projects. Without investments in exploration and new projects, that means there will be a low supply of crude to meet demand. For those of you in the usa, just wait until the government starts to impose shockingly high carbon tax on all petroleum products. That has been going on for a while here in canada. The bottom line is that these idiot politicians have no idea how an economy is going to function without the use of fossil fuels nor how such ridiculously high carbon taxes will affect lower income people much more significantly than those of higher income status. And that's even more hypocritical when they hold themselves out as the great saviors of the lower socioeconomic class. These globalists do not want us unwashed peasants to have anything more than a small cubicle apartment to live in and using public transportation. And heaven forbid the absolutely don't want us to have firearms for the obvious reason of fearing us. Of course having two or more luxurious homes along with a fleet of vehicles and maybe even a yacht throwing in is only reserved for them as part of the elite class.

I just found out the 1975 Oldsmobile Delta had push in grilles also and that's what it's for, in case of an accident. Lol 😂

We had a 1984 two door when I was growing up and I drove it most of my college years. Yes it was a saftey feature plus a few times when working on the car the hinge saved it from breaking too.

There something related to safety regulations from 1973 that requires the car must have no damage up to a 5 mph collision. Those dumping bumpers was developed at that time along with these kind of grills.

@@m.pietro9087 cool information thanks

@Jacob Smith Jr I agree. I'm 39 and while I've been a Cadillac enthusiast (specifically the old Fleetwoods; in fact, they're really the only Cadillacs I've been enthusiastic about, for the most part!) since I was a teenager, my enthusiasm for them has slowly waned, as of late, after exploring these old Lincolns (and even old full-sized Mercurys) more closely. Speaking of Lincolns being underrated (and not counting the Mark Series), I think that about the 1970-1974 models. I guess I'm just maturing in the sense that I'm realizing that the most expensive and flashier, the latter of which Cadillac is MORE so than Lincoln, car isn't necessarily better; when I think about it, Lincolns have always had that more mature sophistication (and I LOVE maturity!) sort of vibe about them and, when you compare a Town Car with a Fleetwood, for example, you realize the Town Car has just as much to offer, if not MORE, and it's done so without needing to tell the world it's loud! It's no wonder the Town Car (last year: 2011) outlived the Fleetwood (last year: 1996) by 15 years and it's also no wonder Lincoln used the slogan "What a luxury car should be."!

Man, I totally recommend it. This Town Car was on my bucket-list of cars to get and I'm really digging it. Totally worth it in my opinion.

also pressing 7/8 9/0 will lock all four doors

The fuel in the bottom of gas tank also lubes the fuel pump as well as contains any crud in the tank. So that might be why they don't want you to run it dry

I have a 1999 town car and a 1994 ❤️ by far my favourites

They're out there! I've owned 2 Crown Vics and they're great if you know how to fix the issues which do arise.

The problem up here in the northeast is that they're all rotted and rusted out.

@@furrys.1304 Just have patience and find some elderly person in a well-to-do area! Meticulous people take meticulous care of their cars. I found a Crown Vic in Long Island recently, drove it all the way back to my home in the Rocky Mountains! Could I have found one closer? Yeah. But this was the nicest one I’ve found!

Wow man, I just don't know enough about these cars to help. I will however pin your comment to the top and hopefully there will be more knowledgeable folks that will help.

The main deal is the intake manifold on 1995 and older Town Cars was an all metal design, sounds nice until you realize changing the EGR valve involves removal of the whole wiper cowl :(. The IAC valve should be in a position somewhere between the beginning and end of the throttle body, I believe it is pretty accessible. After all, it has to pull air from one side of it to the other...

I've worked on alot panther platforms of that era and like half of the ones I've seen are just completely missing the IAC, I don't know the reason as why they are gone and not replaced, maby it's a bad design and they fall out? It's beyond me. (It should be just behind the throttle body)

@@SUPRAMIKE18 Are you sure you aren’t mixing up the IAC valve with the EGR valve? I don’t have one because it’s a POS to replace on 95 and previous intakes and I don’t need to pass emissions anymore. I put a plate on the throttle body to replace it.

@@MicroMac I've actually seen one where BOTH we're removed, not even blanked out Wich is why it was in the shop because it was idling at like 2,500rpm, there's some sketchy crown vics out there on the roads XD
