Agreed on the taillights. I like the 80-84 Town Cars and the old Mark VI

As a die hard Lincoln man, I agree the taillights on the Lincoln fall short in the beauty department. Caddy has a nicer ass lol

@@NLJosh83 until the filler panels rot and fall off.

@@khakiswag they look pretty silly with missing filler panels, I agree

No it wasn't blood the was both well built just say you like Ford better that's cool

I did say it was my opinion and don’t need to be told otherwise. How about you do some spellchecking before you try to make a point. That would be cool.

I give the quality to the Caddy although both cars were ridiculously outdated in the late 80s compared to Mercedes. These are well kept examples though.

My grandfather had Lincoln’s when I was growing up, otherwise I prefer GM of this era

Same here. I was in high school during the '80s and I always loved this body style of Lincoln and I always wanted one. I didn't like the change they did in 1990 at first, mostly because I LOVED this style above. I eventually came to love the redesign, but this one here is my favorite. I'd still love to have one. On this particular one I would prefer it to have had navy like the Cadillac, but the red is nice. If we could only have beautiful, large cars like this again. I'd give up my truck and my SUV for it!

Yes i agree!!!!!

I agree I have an '86 Fleetwood Brougham in Light Blue

The Lincolns back then actually had better engines than the Cadillac. I believe it that it went a Million Miles! I worked for a Limo Company too and one of the cars was a not too sure of the year but probably a early 2000's Lincoln Town Car Limo! It had over 500k that's 500 thousand miles with nothing done to the engine except changing the oil the transmission though I believe was on its 3rd transmission rebuilt I believe.

True and indeed the Lincoln seems too simple for this class

cadillac all the way for me !

@@brentkiely657 both!(im greedy) 403 swap the caddy. looks exactly the same as the 307,but 180 horse/300+ torque

Actually, if you look closely, the Cadillac does; they are just innocuously located in the center pillars, very small and almost hidden by the chrome trim.

Nothing tops a 75-76 Fleetwood Brougham.

​@@MrSpartanPaulEhhhhhh I dunno dude... I gotta tell you there's something about the 80s TC smooth and cushy handling that makes an 85-89 Town Car and the velour cushiness unbeatable imo!

The look is what seperates them. When I see a Caddy that generation I think Pink Floyd's 'The Wall', but driving one vs the other....... I gotta give it to the Lincoln.😮

Valets parking the brands together is a greaaat detail lol

Did you see any 1982-87 (fox body) continentals, they were the hustlebacks with the arch on the decklid

I hear you on the climate control being digital, but to me, the more analog or pre-digital version made it feel more classic in some way. I also like the thermometer on the driver-side mirror. I think I would choose it over the digital for its appeal and nod to nostalgia and yesteryear. I also love the vent windows on these. . . I agree with you on the tail light appearance. I think they could have made a change when they did, but made them a little more classy than simply rounded and slapped-on like they tend to appear. I always wanted an '80s Town Car too. I'd've chosen about an '87-'89 most probably. I wish this one above was blue instead of red, but I don't hate the red at all. Both cars are beauties.

Yes Rich that is a big plus with the Lincoln. Papa 🐻

I was always amazed by the front vent windows on the Town Car and loved them. Wasn't Lincoln the last car to feature them? I was so intrigued that when you rolled down the window the vent window came down first then the actual window. Just too cool. I'm sure it was born out of an era when many people smoked, but, that Lincoln held onto it for so long was nostalgic and unique. Same with the thermometer on the mirror; sort of classic elegance even though there was another option by then (digital). Somehow the digital would seem to make these cars less classy. Beautiful cars both. The Lincoln is my favorite as it was during the '80s, but this Cadillac is a beauty too.

I own a 76 Fleetwood Brougham and the bumper plastic is perfect. Never been replaced as far as I know.

I've owned 3 and as for the 80s models, the door panels were total trash! Window motors failed regularly and AC had issues with switching from cold to hot. Other than that, my dark blue on blue 85 was a real head turner and pimp ride😎

Get some sleep dude he's not got either one of them up for sale so lick your chops as they say. Best you can do is dream about going down the American highway. Maybe driving a Lincoln but with a Cadillac tufted interior how does that go?

Anthony's lucky that he's found a job. Made a career out of taking and loving and restoring these cars. So that people can enjoy these cars there are very few of them still out there. That he is out there searching for these vehicles to bring to us to either perhaps buy?

But most of all he brings a smile to my face and probably to yours I'm 62 and I remember a whole lot of this growing up as a kid. I remember when my stepfather brought home a 1972 Cadillac eldorado with a 550 cubic. Under the hood. He traded in his 1967. XKE Jaguar to buy this car. His choice not mine I was just a little kid at the time I think I was in 5th grade.

Hey dude believe it or not I just sold my 2008 GMC pickup with the rear 496 cubic inch V8 under the hood or 8.2 l. Add more power torque of the diesel truck the same year. I have to say this truck will pull anything it would pass anything except the gas station. Yeah I got tired of 3 and 6 mi to the gallon Owen towing something heavy. And that's here in California

@@kevinjohnson386 you and me both my friend. Never lose that obsession!

One thing that the 1989 and late 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue had that was unavailable in both the Cadillac and the Lincoln was a driver's side airbag. I also preferred the analog gauge cluster of the Chrysler to the digital readout on the other vehicles. The Fifth Avenue was just as comfortable as the Cadillac and the Lincoln; it's too bad that Chrysler saw fit to end production of their rear drive models after the 1989 model year. The front drive New Yorkers and Imperials were nice-looking and well-appointed, but they really weren't comparable to the Cadillac Brougham or the Lincoln Town Car.

Thank you Bill it looks like the Cadillac has it. Papa 🐻

That lincoln is fly no doubt but the cadillac is the Goat
