I got one of these for free from a friend who didnt know how to work on cars. His pitch was "If you can fix it, you can have it" one battery later I got a free Town car lol.

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

I don't care what you do to the BMW, but please do not mistreat that Town Car for no apparent reason. Suckers who treat 'em poorly are the reason why a nice older Lincoln is getting harder and harder to find

i use these videos to fall asleep

You really live up to your name, RCR. You are presented with cars like an Aston, C6/C7 and an S2K for example and give a quick review. Yet, you can go on an on about these old cars that majority of car people would call crap and make it interesting. Good on you for that.

Oh man I'd love to try out one of these big American cars , here in Europe you don't see stuff like that.

Love your car. I just picked up a 1993 Lincoln Town Car and it drives like a dream. I'll take a big rear wheel drive like this any day over these modern plastic go karts.

that's one clean Lincoln. I loved this generation and it ran forever.

The Lincoln Town Car: Best car ever made? Indeed.

Curb weight is 4,039 lbs.

i think we have all done the ole italian tune up at some point. it works idc what anyone says lol

My parents had a 1993 Town Car, very similar to this '94. I think theirs was the Executive series. That car was so smooth. Such a powerful engine and smooth transmission. It's funny to me that a lot of people don't like cars like this because they're too big and comfortable. No kidding, its a Town Car, what do you expect. 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.

I got a 92 Jack Nicklaus white with the golden bear batching for high school twenty year ago and I still have it. I recently gave it a fresh coat of paint, love it.

Those are so nice. My dream car as a kid was a 1987 Lincoln Town Car. I really like the 80's boxy style best, to me it is the way a luxury car SHOULD look, like a Greek Temple.

I spent a lot of time in these as a kid, they were used as cabs in NYC for the longest time. Taxi's used to be only Lincolns, Ford Crown Victoria's, and some Chevy's.

I'm in love with the electric dash cluster - I have one in my yaris and I have no idea why they weren't in more cars back in the day.

I remember when I was a kid my mother owned an '89 Town Car. Riding in that thing was like sitting on your couch at home.

That car floats like a cloud. I miss my old town car. Nice video bro. Thanks.

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.

I have such a soft spot for these 90s Town Cars. My parents leased a couple and we did a lot of road tripping in them. It felt like you could fit 20 people in there.

I just bought an immaculate 1993 Town Car Signature, but it has no moon roof or CD changer. Both were optional extras on all trim levels apparently. Loving the classic thin steering wheel and wild drifting!

Lincoln Marauder? kek, some ex Mercury executive just threw this Computer out of the window. I have one of those, heavily tuned 4.6L 305hp stiff bushings, suspension. 0-60 in about 7 sec, fast for a huge sedan, satisfying to drive, that 250hp is there every time to rev up to 4K and 300+ on 6K. Rear tires are wide, Not enough low end torque to get the tires to spin though, uses the 3.55's. 4.10 gears are ideal upgrade.

In 2008 I had a 97 Grand Marquis in Germany. It was big but in Europe it looks ten times bigger. There were just certain roads you did not drive it on. But on the autobahn, it was so perfect. Panther platform cars are much better than you may think.

Some of the most fun I've had in a car was riding in a friend's '95 Town Car on autocross courses. It's amazing what a vehicle can do when a driver doesn't fear its shortcomings.

these still look great but when they came out with the new body style in 1998, man what a beautiful car, those big rounded lincolns were the bomb, i want one

I love these RCR stories while driving. If you guys have time, it’d be great if you could bring it back in 2021

My first car was identical. 1994 Lincoln Town Car, same color. Was my Grandmothers, and she gave it to me when I was in High School. I LOVED that car so much. Sadly, I was sitting at a stop sign one day and someone took a turn too fast and totaled it. I was able to use the insurance money to buy a 1997 Town Car, which I still have to this day. Favorite cars ever, so comfortable and fun to drive.

One of your best videos still today. I liked every bit of that review and probably watched it ten times by now... :)

My good friend has a 97' Town Car Signature and I have to say it is the most comfortable thing I've ever sat in. And it is BIGGGG!!!

Takes me back to my old man who was a Caddy guy for many years (classic; buy new, drive to and from the golf course for three years and then trade it in)......then he went through a Lincoln stage until I was able to convince him to go LS 400 in the nineties....classic American philosophy; the more steel, the better you feel....

Beautiful car. I have a 95 Mercury Grand Marquis which is essentially the same frame, engine and well.... car. I got 269K on mine and still runs smooth as silk.

The rear suspension is settling because the air ride system has a leak that needs to be fixed. We have all the knowledge for a DIY'er to fix it at CrownVic.net. Of course, as 10+ year Panther owner, I am a long time reader.

I truly love that Mr Reg is reviewing his grandmas car.

I owned a 94 TC Base Model myself. baby Blue. Car ran like a dream. Loved that car. Own a 2001 TC SS now, with 46k original miles & a sun roof in it. LOVE the ride in these TC's.

"The boat" haha My uncle had one. I use to love riding around with him. Smooth ride with decent pep for a big boy :)

Saying it now, technically I'm not a very knowledgable car guy, but ohhhh I love these and the "old" Caprices. So comfy and smooth, there's something about them that just bleeds class.

My grandfather had a '93. It's the kind of car that makes you want to take things nice and easy, slow and steady. Took from Florida to Indianapolis a couple of times. It's like a rolling leather sofa.

My grandfather's last car was a '92. Silver and light grey leather, bench seats. The last time I rode in it was in July of '96. That nice, big leather-filled car, 100 degree North Carolina heat, a broken air compressor, and the stickiest 50 mile ride of my life.

I bought a mid-nineties Lincoln Town Car when I was around 16, before I could even drive, and that thing was awesome. It had white leather interior, a bunch of bells and whistles, and started/ran without any issues. The air ride suspension was busted though so there was no hope of me being able to get it on the road, so what I ended up doing was parking it in a friends garage and smoking a crap ton of weed in it. It was the most luxurious weed smoking experience of my life.

I've always loved this car. Super comfortable and extremely reliable. Just a classic!

Man those bongs bring back memories. FERD!

The "Italian tune up". Love it ! I give my '85 Marquis will, every once in a while. The 145 HP 302 is disappointing, but it WILL squeal the tires , albeit briefly. My '03 CV Sport, on the other hand, with it's 3:73 rear end, and 239 HP (:( , will fill the rear passenger compartment, if your right foot is willing. These Lincoln's are fantastic (say it with a British accent). Take it to Dubai, and you could get a hundred grand out of it. The LOVE them over there !

My family's first actual "family car" was a '79 Continental with the Town Car trim. God, that thing was a boat. If you ever got the chance to review one of those, it'd be so awesome to see.

I almost bought one of these. I was so close but this old man deserved it more than me. Didn't have a car, we both met the ower at the same time and although I had the cash in hand, he needed to go get his, and I just let him have it. I had fun test driving it, though. My buddy and I took it around town for about 10 minutes, drifted it out of the Walmart parking lot, and it was just a blast to drive. I will own one.

I have a 94 Mercury grand marquis LS watching your Lincoln reminds me of it...

i love this car so much! your gramma had very good taste when she picked the ol' girl off the lot

Oh man this takes me back. When I was in high school my dad worked at he UN and diplomats would all (including us) drive around this cars. They were so comfortable and amazing back then. You'd feel like a king back there. They'll run forever too.

Italian Tune Up. Hmmmmm, I just learned something new. Thanks Mr Regular

I'm really glad you did this one. I love the Town Car and felt your review in the past wasn't as long or info-packed as it could've been. I just wish I could justify buying one for myself.

Man i really want one of these huge american ships that gives you a nice ride if you go in a straight line and have lots and lots of space because i'm getting bored of these small japanese and european cars.

2007 Grand Marquis LS here. Got it with under 50,000 miles. Thing feels and drives like a tank. (and has the most satisfying thunk of closing a door that I have ever heard)

Perhaps there's a person in the trunk? Also there's a glaring absence of Matthew McConaughey impression

Love it! Those cars of course were made to be quiet and comfortable, and not necessarily handle well. My first car was a '78 Chevy Impala and, well, you were totally disconnected from the road. Super light, thin steering wheel, soft suspension, lots of body roll in corners, but it never let me down the three years I drove it. Had 187K when I traded it in and it was still running fine. Best first car, ever. We could get 7 or 8 (very friendly) people in that car for Midnight Movie nights.

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.

lovely, i live in sweden and i own a 89 Cadillac Brougham, the size of those cars are absolutely lovely!

Awesome video! I love that color...

Haha, the end there. "No, no, no, maybe, no, no, hell no, ugh"

My dad bought our Lincoln brand new with a briefcase of straight cash in '97... Brand new silver Town Car Cartier. Every time we went on a long trip that was the go to. Beyond comfortable. You could never take a ride in our Lincoln without a smile. The worst thing though... Getting a flat and having to jack it up. The suspension travel just... We maxed the height on our jack and the wheel was STILL flat on the ground.

Weirdly, I love the interior of that thing

That's a very badass way of closing the visor.

Proud owner of an Alpine 6-disc changer with FM modulator back in the day. Had it in my 94 Olds Achieva and then moved it on to my 95 Probe SE. Good times.

The reason airbags were so awkward in 1994 ESPECIALLY is because in the USA 1994 was the year that all cars were required to have dual airbags... Some def look like they just cut a hole in the dash and added one....

Those dual-visors... seriously so useful. About the only thing I miss from my old '92 Taurus

This is by far the most comfortable car to drive. I miss the 90's cars so much.

3:45 OOH im gonna click it down into TWO, and give it the BUSINESS.

My car in high school was a '93 crown vic LX, almost the same car, and I loved it. Had 110k on it when I got it, 160 when I sold it, averaging about 9 miles per gallon in town... good times

I never felt like I arrived in the US until I rode in my relative's Grand Marquis. The ride and seats were supreme, and the wood and chrome were so American. 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.

I love post 2000 Lincolns, my Dad has a Dark Green 98’ town car SIGNATURE SERIES and it’s amazing

My grandfather just got a 2004 Town Car Ultimate Edition to replace his 1994 Town Car Executive Series that he just sold... the 1994 is a comfortable car and so is the 2004, but sometimes it's time to move on and get something newer, so my grandfather did.

I recently have come to appreciate 90's cars, especially "luxury cars" from that decade there just so, well obscure and lovable in some weird way.

My mom's leased these all thru the 90s they are big comfy cars and on highway it feels like your floating

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.

Makes me really miss the 72 Cadillac I had in high school. :)

Ah... CD Changers. I remember my 1995 Lexus GS300. It had a 10 Disc Changer in the trunk. I´ve got my CDs in the back and Cassettes from my Dad in the front. Good times.

5:38 I drive a 1990 Honda Civic. No cupholders, but I have automatic seatbelts!

I had an '89 with the 5.0 mustang (detuned) motor, loaded with plush plush leather, factory wire wheels....man I miss that car, so smooth and torquey!!

I learned to drive in my dad's 1988 Ford LTD Crown Vic, back when it had both badging. That car was like driving the freaking Titanic, but it was everything to us. It was a sedan for business, a truck for hauling, and an RV on long trips. If I could buy another 1988 like that, I would. Best. Car. EVER.

My grandma has one of those and a newer one, they make the same noise when you have the key in the ignition haha good ol Lincoln

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 wish they still made cars like this. Despite all their drawbacks, I do enjoy driving big boaty sedans. Especially out on the highway.

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

RRrrghhhhh....Digital Gash.....

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. I usually watch an episode or two before I go to bed and that's not a bad thing I like watching your videos.

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.

My parents own a 2000 Buick Park Avenue, and it's a shitload of fun to drive. Almost 2 tons of boat.

I own a town car from the same year 94 and drive around Brooklyn. The car sticks out in a way makes me feel a bit unique

I found this review while searching/hoping maybe you'd reviewed a Lincoln Continental, especially one of the later ones like my 2002. But I can easily slip into Town Car stories just as well, since I sometimes drive my Aunt's 2000 Town Car when mine is in the shop. What I've realized after going past cops in the Town Car plenty fast enough to deserve a ticket, is that the police must be use to ignoring these cars figuring the driver is elderly and gets a break. I don't know, but that's my theory .

I have an '89 Towncar and a 1997 Crown Vic and I love them

I don't understand the ending with the Bmws

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.

Best car ever made. Tough as nails

I'd love to try out one of these, sadly I'm in the UK and American cars from this era and back are hard to come by.

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.

the AODE transmission will start off in 2nd gear and stay in 2nd gear with the shifter in 2 as opposed to starting in 1st and going into 2nd-done to decrease wheelspin in low traction conditions. The autolamps are very sensitive to the registration sticker placement on the driver side of the base of the windshield- the sticker needs to be placed away from the small grille over the photosensor on the dash

This and the Lexus LS400 are my dream cars.

for a 94 Lincoln to have a digital analog, I think that's really cool

This was more of a review than most of your videos. Especially the old ones.

The airport is this thing's natural habitat.

that's actually a really nice dash

Holy shit another car with dual sun visors! The only car I ever seen those in was my 2002 SEL Ford Taurus, wish more manufacturer did that.
