The glass was remade to be thicker than the 2nd gen (1990-1997). The car also received the NHTSA 5/5 star crash protection rating from the government from the 1998-2006 model years. I think for rollover protection having thicker glass does help when it comes to quality and crash resistance. The car does also have velvet window seals, glovebox and front armrest compartment. I've never known another vehicle other than the Lincoln town car which has velvet trimmed window seals, every other car is polyurethane which is so cheap and the seals dry out and rot as they age. Mine is also a 2004 and performance white, just turned over 240k miles recently and has the original drivetrain.

Ford really nailed it with the Panther line, what a shame and sad state things are today.

also add the mpg....for a 4,300 lb car with 1980's V8 tech(no turbo, no direct injection, no VVCT), a sold wasteful heavy rear axle vs light weight CV axles, huge heavy old school 4 speed transmission, etc and still 26 mpg on the highway....not bad at all....

I've driven Town Cars for 35 years and there is nothing like them! My '06 Signature Limited is just like yours and I dearly love it everytime I drive it!

There's really something special about looking down the hood from the front seat of an 80's T/C in particular.

Lincoln Town Cars are the best vehicles and the road. Your Town Car has one one the best engines out there. The power is better than the 2011. Keep the engine clean, tires balance /aligned, change the oil every 5k miles. Use the A/c in automatic mode, it will last longer. Use only 87 Oct fuel. You will love it , I still own two TC and a Lincoln Continental.

Of all the cars i have owned in my lifetime merc amg, chev z06, shelby gt350, ferrari ff, bmw325is, porsche turbo, golf r to name a few there will be a time when you just gravitate back to a towncar. Comfort, simple dash, full size, reliability. What a luxury car should be. One of the best cars ever assembled out of Wixom, Michigan. Thanks for sharing.

They are Grandpa/Grandma cars, as I'm about to pick one up from my 95 year old Grandma, and I'm totally stoked.

This is when an American car really was as durable and long-lasting as a Toyota or Honda. You could put 100's of thousands of miles on these since the 80's with the 5.0 and it only got better in '91 with the buttery 4.6. You could drive these cars nearly endlessly, nothing about driving these wears you out, just eat up the miles. These will cruise at 90 all damn day.

we called these "The American Rolls". Lincoln took Cadillacs lunch money since 1981 with them.

My very first love for the Lincoln town car was a 1981 town car coupe, I fell in love with it at the age of 15 and have owned one almost my entire adult life, my first was a 1984 signature series fully loaded to my 2009 signature limited with 101k on her, the only thing I had to repair is the ac evaporator and the intake manifold both common items, keep an eye under the intake behind the alternator for coolant starting to puddle up that will be the intake or heater by pass pipe changed both on mine to be safe

Have a 2010 black on black in phenomenal condition. Had it since February. It gets more looks and turns head than 99 percent of cars on the road especially since you can barely tell cars apart nowadays especially SUVs.

Hey buddy! When you get out of work after a tough day, or need to go to, say, go to Michigan with the fam, THIS is what you want to get into!!! I've had a lot of Caddys, still have one, but the Lincoln is the better choice all around. Not easy to find GOOD Lincolns out there!

Awesome Nick. I agree with you on your 5 points. Especially the reliability and looks. !!!! Beautiful American Machine. !!! ❤❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

While I agree that this generation (03 to 11)TC has a nice smooth ride, IMO the previous gen (92ish to 97) has the best ride because those have a little more float to them. No matter what gen these cars are they are built to last and they are pretty much bulletproof. They do have their quirks but they are fairly easy to work on and you can still find most parts for these things all over.

Just acquired an '05 Signature Series 3 weeks ago and have put about 700 miles on it, totally concur with all of GetThisNick's evaluation. In replying to antonioleal900, who rides a Crwon Victoria Police Interceptor, noted a comparison to my 2004 CVPI I've owned for 16 years and am now disposing of due to too many issues to resolve after 248k miles. The LTC has insulation not present on the cop car and the engine air intake has a smaller inlet with a couple of mufflers for suppression of noise into the cabin, sacrificing about 20 hp noticable on acceleration pickup. Once underway, cruising is fine. These are the last true limousines.

I love my 2007 Town Car, just turned 200k miles.

I have a 1997 town car. Amazing car best riding car I ever owned. The is probably one of the best v 8 engines ever made. Very unappreciated master piece

I have an 06 town car and I agree with your five likes. It’s a real car with a capital R. I’ve driven it thousands of miles with no issues and always arrive without road fatigue. I even used it as a camper with my wife move the front seats all the way up and put a foam mattress. It was a little tight, but still, I would do it again 😊

I want to say these cars have a special type of metal alloy that the body is made out of to dampen sound as well. This is especially evident while it's raining. Raindrops on the roof have a sort of dead thunk as it hits the roof while other cars that I have been in have a have a distinct metallic sound. I also know that the doors have sound deadening material in them too.

I traded my 90's towncar for a Lexus, regreated my decision to this day.

Never had a town car, per say, but have had a p71 crown vic. Same car mechanically besides the upgraded police parts.. sway bar, gearing possibly.. but you have a reliable vehicle that was built purely for being driven by people in them all day long. Use motocraft synth blen only, motocraft oil filer only, motocraft plugs and coils.. its a 3-400k mile car, with all the nice leather that the lincoln adds. Great car

I drive a 1988 Cartier Town car almost daily, owned it 5 years and has never broken down on the road, has the digital dash and power Moon Roof, leather, ride and overall quality is high even 30 odd year's later, with basic maintenance they can last a very long time. it's classic luxury

My 2006 Lincoln Town Car is awesome! Love it

I wish lincoln had not stopped making these great cars. I feel there is still a demand for a big American luxury sedan. It's the reason so many people are buying huge pickup trucks and suvs. This is a beautiful car!

I have a 91 Town Car with over 200,000 miles. It's my daily driver and has been on numerous road trips. I have friends in their 20's who appreciate the ride and quality of this car. It's the best car I've ever owned!

Are you me? I have the same color, IL license plate, and a round blind spot mirror! Definitely agree with points 3 and 4, solid quality with sound dampening. We rented a brand new corolla when we were on a trip - my wife, hating this old car, was astonished to see how comfy, quiet, and stable the ride the Town car was. The Lincoln spoiled us because now with think Corollas and other normal cars vibrate like crazy. Another reason for us to delay buying a new car!

Well?! What’s something YOU love about the Town Car?!

My 06' TC is the best car I've ever owned. Same color as yours. Mine just turned 106k and I'll keep it till the end.

It's a shame they don't make them like this anymore

I own a 86 TC, and pampered her better than my wife. 🤭

A young lady asked me several years ago what car I would recommend for her to buy with a limited budget of $3000. I recommended a Lincoln Town Car. I found her one in Knoxville, TN. I found a 2004 Town Car Ultimate like yours but with a sun roof and a special order P71 Police Interseptor Package. The car had 120K on it , and it had served as the Governor of Alabama's chief of security car. It was sold at public auction along with the State Highway Patrol cars when it reached 10 years old and over 100K miles. It was the best of both worlds with ultimate luxury and smoking tire performance. She drove it for years problem free.

I have a 2006, just over 100K miles on it. I'd love to have another one but if that happens I'm keeping this one, too.

Love that color combo. Sweet ride, Nick.

That car bad my man 💯🔥🔥 u got me ready to get one next year. Keep dropping jewels 💎 on that classic. Real playa style 👊🏾✊🏾

I have only one thing I don't like about the TC - it's the MPG. Everything else, I ❤it!

I like trunks close really nicely. Great video 🤙

Agree with you 💯 the best car I have ever own my 2008 Town car

true luxury.

Sweet, that thing looks brand new!

I love mine 2006 175 k miles It’s a marshmallow for sure

Very true my 5things u love of this car.

Hello Nick, Super upload my friend and fellow "panther platform" owner. Question? Did you add the chrome above the wheels and along the rockers? If so, was it difficult to install? Our's is the same color as your's, but needs the extra chrome. Thank you and best always.

Hello Nick! Glad you are enjoying your Town Car. I think its a personal choice taking off the chrome/fender pieces. IMHO I would've kept them, because they do compliment the chrome wheels. But it doesn't look bad since you took them off, I saw the After pics. I sure miss my '09 Silver Birch TC, sold it over the summer to neighbor and he loves it. His 80 y/o parents will use it to drive around when they visit from CT. I also sold my '05 Cashmere Edition Thunderbird on BaT in May, miss it somewhat. But liking our 2 EVs, Mustang Mach-e and Tesla Model Y - I personally like the Mach-e better, but eh then I'm a FORD guy! It hasnt even been 6 mos, and I'm getting an urge to look for a 1989 Town Car "Cartier Edition" hehe. Enjoy your car as long as you can. Not too many worries about rust with yours, at least it is garage kept. And be thankful it didn't have one of those "carriage/vinyl roofs" I saw another video of a guy who took his vinyl "Palm Beach Edition" roof OFF and omg, the RUST...all over, and what a mess. Hope you are enjoying all the compliments you get just on the color - Cashmere Beige rules! Happy New Year! Craig :)

The lincoln town car is the best

I always had muscle cars, and I bought one of these because it was dirt cheap (man bought it for daughters bf, and they broke up). It was a 96 and fell in love. Now I daily drive an 05, and man I love these cars

I prefer the look of the previous generation, but i'd love to have one of the newer extended wheelbase ones...someday

2006 Towny 180k miles. Air bags break at 125 k miles. Still drives great.

I never owned one but more and more I think I will get one being 60 years old now..

My first Lincoln was back in '85. Was hooked. After that I had '87, '89, '91, '93, '95, '97 skipping until '03. Still driving '10, but my "baby" is my '06 25th Anniversary Edition which is basically a Designer Series just rebadged with special color combo at 47K. I'm definitely hooked. Just hate they stopped production. Production. Thinking my next daily driver may be a BMW 7 Series

I want one because my P71 has been great aside from the wear and tear mainly from the abuse it was put through. I want a grandpa car that will never break down.

I just bought a 2007 and at 57 years old this is definitely my car, my F-250 died big time and I had to find a car in one day and I knew from past experience’s with Crown Victoria’s (3 of them) that this vehicle platform was excellent but I had no idea how comfortable and quiet these cars were, I used to be tired and fatigued after a long drive in my truck but not in a Lincoln, I actually look forward to every trip in this car, and when I get to my destination I sometimes just sit for awhile basking in my buttery soft leather surroundings, it’s almost to comfortable to get out of, so yeah I would say favorite thing about the Town Car is comfort and effortless driving.

Love my towncar but why did they screw up was those plastic door handles on the 03s+ like why did the 98-02 have metal handles and nice handles and the 03s went to plastic that breaks and those junk handle bar holders that fall out and fade!

9:43 amen yes. and consoles particularly now are only getting more and more ridicules.

Is it a good buy with 300k miles? Can it be taken to long road trip regularly?

Great ride quality but the car is too long. Hard to maneuver and no handling. Like steering a boat. I had to sell mine. Took months to adjust driving it around in Chicago

...nice cars except for the interior door arm rest latch & pull strap handles & transmission whine

i would murder someone for to be able to buy that car right now lol

The way the brakes are set up on that car, it is The perfect car for a new driver. You really feel the weight when you drive it. Young drivers are typically heavy throttle and heavy brake. This car teaches you not to do that

I love my 2001 Lincoln Town Car so much, I bought a 2010 !!

My man! Good stuff but you just kept yapping for about 2 minuities in the beginning. Just get to the point from the get go. N need for a 5 stage introduction.

I own one. But, it's a Ford. Seriously. They're cheap for a reason.

If you love the "quality" of these cars, don't ever buy a Lexus....😂😂😂
