I'm a chauffeur, and we have a Town Car with 296,000 miles. It's still in service, and the customers love it. My bosses Town Car has over 400,000 miles on it.

I hate the design of current cars with their hunchback trunks and cramped interiors. The Town Car is what a luxury car should be.

My first car was a 2001 Lincoln Town Car with 495,000 Miles, ran like a best and lasted me a while until I decided to sell it, currently own a 2009 Town Car and still love these panther platforms

2007 Executive L with 400k miles in my fleet, still the no.1 requested car by airport clients..

Just over a year ago I bought a beautiful black 2003 Lincoln Town Car Signature with just over 118, 000 miles on it. $5,000 cash scored me this beauty and I love this car! I just turned 49 and driving this car is second nature...no problem going from 45 to 80 on I 10 in Texas, It unwinds quite nicely! Long Live Lincoln Town Car! Don't Fu*k with it

Panther body cars will always be my favorite. It's a shame they stopped making them.

That interior is lovely!

I just bought a 2000 Lincoln town car. It's the most comfortable car ever! Plenty of room ,and just the right amount of tech.

I own a 2001 Town Car. Just a great reliable and comfy car. Like riding on a cloud. It's like a classic car with modern technology and styling. Love it!

A full frame, RWD, V8 is the perfect platform for a "Luxury Car". They should have kept tweaking that, instead of dropping it. That was a huge mistake. I snagged a 2006 Designer from Alabama with 52K miles, and I'm glad I did. I keep it garaged, out of Ohio weather, and put maybe 500 miles per year on it. I think I'll grab another to use as a daily driver before they're all beat up. I don't give a damn what anybody else thinks of them. I've got mine, to hell with everybody else!

When I graduate college and get a real job, I'm buying this car

my 1996 town car is at 292,000 miles, still runs and drives great

I just inherited my father's 2003 Town Car. I was considering selling it, but after detailing it and seeing just how many unique little features and amenities it had, I think I may just hang onto this relic. It has 89,585 original miles, so it has lots of life left and was pristinely kept.

Don’t forget: 2003 was a major chassis upgrade for the Panther platform: zero-offset wheels (2002-earlier do not fit), new frame, new engine cradle, etc. To your credit, you touched on this but only lightly. There is a big difference in the feel of a 2002 versus 2003 Town Car. The highest-mileage one I saw was 589,000 miles, at which point it needed a transmission. The engine was fine. My Town Car L once fit a full-size bureau and more in the back seat with the doors closed! Later on, I loaded it with 1100 pounds of 18” square x 3” concrete pool pavers in the floor, seats and trunk. Thanks to self-leveling, it got home with no issues. Trivia: the Town Car L will self-level up to 700 pounds in the trunk. That’s two big fat dead Mafia dons.

I am 21 and a software engineer. I bought one of these as my first car while in university. It's rock solid reliability and amazing ability to insulate me from the rest of the world is why I chose it. I frequently drive 600 mile trips on weekends to visit family in other cities and it is perfect. And despite what people think, it handles cities well. I never have a hard time making it though down town Ottawa finding a parking spot, before I go to a pub. Plus it makes being stuck it traffic tolerable. I simply turn on a good radio station or a audio book and wait for traffic to get moving. I've been stuck behind an accident before and had to wait 2 hours for it to be cleared on a northern Canadian highway (no detour around it). I sat in the back with my little brother and watched a movie, on a fucking full sized TV I was transporting! I am personally going to drive this car until it's in the dirt. They literally don't make them like this any more. I don't car if it gets 15mpg in town and 25mpg on the highway.

Just bought a 2009 Grand Marquis, I love it!

They neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed to make the good old classic trio back

My brother loves his zippy, got-to-fold-yourself-into-it sports cars. I just bought an '04 Marquis and *love* the car for it's comfort and size.

The panther platform is the best. Gotta love it.

When I think about how a car should look like, I always think about the panther platform.

I own Lincoln 04 more than 10 years and don't want to change it. in Russia very difficult get any repair parts,but I love more and more!

Bentley and Rolls-Royce didn't downsize. Lincoln should've been the American Bentley, offered at BMW prices. I think Lincoln is starting to get the idea with the latest Continental. Now they need to revive the Town Car and make it an "affordable" Bentley Mulsanne.

I have four Fords including a 2006 Ford Taurus, a 2004 Mercury Marauder, a 2002 Ford Ranger, and a 2004 Lincoln Town Car. My Town Car is the one vehicle that demands a relaxed driving demeanor, no hurry, no rush, just serenity.

I feel like the new Continental is the spiritual successor to the Town Car even though it isn't body on frame. I say that because it is focused on comfort and is the best they have to offer, while other brands have forgotten about what makes a great luxury car,

This and the Crown Vic - last to have a full frame + rear axle + V8 engine, all in one. Mileage mandates also helped kill this model.

Perhaps THE best review videos I've ever seen on youtube. I have a clean 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and it's just fabulous. What a waste companies don't make these cars anymore.

Thanks for this Joe! My last Lincoln was an '07 Town Car. I loved it, as I did almost all of my other Lincolns. By the way, you are right about the lumbar on this generation.

Loving this video so much. Causal music, background info, perfect length, similar to top gear style mixing with some other new car reviews

I have a 2011 ford crown Vic Police interceptor and I Love it. looks great, rides great and affordable. all around get car.

Another great episode. These are consistently well-written, so keep it up! Would like to see a 94-96 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

I havew a 2003 Lincoln Signature. She has 107,000 miles and I wouldn't trade her for anything! I love my car! Paid for and still runs so incredibly awesome. I may be old, but she is my dream car and paid off!

I've always wondered how many bodies could fit in that trunk, so I'm glad you answered that for me. All joking aside, thanks for another great video!

Great video! I was wondering though if you're making another documentary soon. A one on Plymouth would be cool. Keep up the good work!

What a really great video. I enjoyed this a lot AutoMoments. Thank you. I own a 2006 Town Car I bought new. Going on a little over 10 years old now, it rides like a dream, and only thing so far I have done is a new set of tires in 2012 and on my 3rd battery. Problem free. Only 42,775 miles too as of today. Best car I have ever owned. Top notch video. Thank you again.

1 year ago since I bought this for the parents, we watched your video together. Great job, love it. It's becoming nostalgic, we will make it our yearly town car anniversary video lol

I have a 2002 Towncar with 68,000 miles that was left to me by my 101 year old grandmother. A total dream to drive around town. I miss you Granny!

The limousine version can be used to house the bodies of six senators behind the tinted glass. 1990s Town Cars are a favourite of mine.

The Town Car, Crown Vics and Gran Marquis are the last good cars built! Some one should start building these again! RWD, V8 and body on frame is the way to go!

This video did a justice to the town car, thank you so much sir for your time and effort to make this video

Lincoln Town Car IS what luxury should be. I am the original owner of a 2001 Cartier, the then top of the Lincoln line. And to this day after all these years of daily driving, I still get compliments. I have recently turned 208 thousand miles and it's not stopping ay time soon. There are more fuel efficient vehicles on the road today. Although I still get 22 to 26 depending on where I drive. But for me its not about fuel cost. The sheer size & weight produces an unsurpassed comfort as it floats down the road. I have rented many cars at airports and can confidently say, there is nothing on the road that feels like a Lincoln. This video nailed it. There are still drivers that don't want to feel the road. I choose to be driven in quite comfort. Lincoln. My car is far from new. But at the end of the day when it goes in the garage and I close the door... its still a Lincoln!

The 2003 Lincoln Town Car is a V8 powered leather lazyboy recliner.

Absolutely LOVE the 80's Town Car; 0:52 Hope to get my hands on one some day. My old man has the 70's fullsize Mark 3 Lincoln continental.

I loved my 2003 Town Car...200K miles when it was retired due to a rear end going out...I dare say that car was one of my favorite cars that I have owned and I have owned over 54 cars as well as 9 motorhomes..(RV's)...I can't say enough positive about that Town Car..I did miss the front window vent windows that my older Town Cars had..the little triangle section that would go down before the main side window would for a small vent..

I had the opportunity to drive an 06 Town car for a mechanic friend of mine to return it to its owner about 15 miles away. I was never in one before. I was so impressed w/that Lincoln I got out of the car and proclaimed that this car is so fine it will make you a better man.

The front seats are buckets and are very snug. It handles very well and rides nice. The rear deck isn't very long at all, it looks long because other cars have virtually no deck. If you have the trunk organizer you have a big trunk and an underneath storage area. It is very trim and if you know how to drive it is easy to drive in a city. My goodness, I learned how to drive on a bigger car.

I feel like the town car is the perfect luxury car. Maybe it should have more power behind the wheel but the most important part about a luxury car should be the luxury. I think the Town Car had that.

I love watching your videos especially this one as I own a 2006 Lincoln town car designer series and your narration is spot on and easy to understand👍 The only thing I don't like about my town car is that they don't still make them..

This was an outstanding video from start to finish. You have gained a subscriber and a fan.

excellent video. i am one those people who don't like the hard suspension as noted. when i bought my lincoln mks i truly thought something was wrong with the suspension. i will forever love my town cars and am thankful so many were produced.

Really enjoyable to watch and to listen to again. Another good job for those of us who remember that these were actually pretty good cars back then. Great to get a close-up look at one of these again though... Travelling in comfort ? Well that's Never going to go out of style, is it ?

Your backs hurts in a Towncar? Sounds like you have a bad back. I recently bought a 2003 with only 92k miles on it. This thing is like sitting in my living room on my couch. I mostly drive my Benz and my Sportwagon TDI. But when I want a night out on the town with my girl and some friends or a long drive vacation my German friends stay home and I take the couch. Super smooth, quiet and comfortable and getting around 23 m.p.g. at highway speeds all the while stretching out on my couch in my living room at 75 m.p.h. Read up on the dependability of these cars. They are VERY reliable and run over 250K miles with ease. Love this car.

I miss my 2003 Town Car. Best car I’ve ever owned. Smooth ride, reasonable power and quite luxurious.

I have a 2005 TC, and I think it's sexy looking. And I and my dogs look sexy riding in it. We don't care who thinks we're outdated. If anyone wants to get my Town Car from me, they'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hands (along with my firearm)! If it's uncool to drive a Lincoln Town Car, I'm fine with that. It's been years -- decades, actually -- since I cared about what's hip.

Overall this was a great review of the Town Car. This truly was the last of an era and the last of the good Lincoln's. Personally the 90-97 Town Car was always my favorite generation next to the 80-89 Town Car. But still excellent cars no less. You should do a review of the Cadillac Deville or DTS next. That;s what I have myself and are also some great cars.

I own a 2000 TC given to me by my dad. I deliver pizza and groceries for a living and I use the Town Car when my back is hurting or its gonna be a rough day, compliments the 13 Abarth 500 work car and my 06 Dodge Ram 1500 in my driveway. The comfort for professional drivers is unmatched! I see why they're loved after spending time with mine. 200k miles runs like a clock!! I turned the car down multiple times and I finally took it, took car of deferred maintenance myself and now I'm in love! I got the second auto seat button set to fully recline and go back. So nice for breaks!! my favorite feature and that comfy recliner like chair, plus the Factory Alpines still kicking it 21 years later!

Phenomenal video. The music, transitions, and commentary blend spectacularly to create something special.

Funny, people who are spending 60k+ on a decked luxury coupe don't realize that SUVs and Pick Ups are becoming the new luxury. They now combine the power they desire, the space we miss, and the elegance that's been unaffordable.

lets not forget you can get these with 70,000miles for under $13K

The way you times the words "should be" with the headlights at the end is great

Good vid as always. thanks

A luxury car should be: Big on the inside! These days even "luxury" cars that have plenty of gimmicks are cramped on the inside, with high, wide center consoles (despite having no manual clutch) that preclude sliding across the seat to enter and exit through the curbside door.

IMHO a luxury car is a car that is built to provide comfort for the driver. In that regards, only Lexus, Lincoln, Rolls-Royce, Bentley and maybe Volvo and Mercedes are real luxury cars, as the other brands go too much into the sporty territory.

Love cars, love history. Great knowledge! I love hearing about back stories

Very well done. Your production was well polished.

you can fit more than 6 bodies, if you cut them

0:56 Massive is kind of an understatement, if I'm not mistaken, the Continental still holds the record for the longest American built passenger car.

Awesome video and narration! Subscribed!!

Bought a 2003 Lincoln Town Car as my first car. Bought for 3,000 which is a steal in today's market. I am only 17 and I love this car dearly.

Land yachts forever I say! Comfort, cruise control and some nice music... oooyea

Its a real shame. If you were playing that game where you say a word and the other person is suppose to say the first thing that comes to mind, what do you get when you say 'luxury'? My mind says 'comfort'. Maybe someone else would say 'power'. After that you might get into some other multiple word statements like 'great fit and finish'. So, what kind of list can I make with those words? - Luxury car must be exceptionally quiet and smooth. Town Car excelled at that at least through '97. The wider tires and suspension upgrades required to out corner and out stop Cadillac Sedan Deville likely came at a sonic penalty. In addition, the latest technologies should be applied to maximizing the smoothness of ride and minimizing sound intrusion. Lincoln did this well through 1990, being early to the gas shock party and the steel belted radial party (at least in America). They were also early to the electronic fuel injection party, offering it standard in 1980. - Luxury car must be powerful. 0-60 should be in the top 10-15% of cars. At the same time it still needs to be quiet. I don't want a luxury car that SOUNDS powerful, I want a luxury car that IS powerful. There is a difference. Up until the introduction of the PI engine the Town Car was respectably powerful. No it wasn't as fast as the Caddy, but who cares. At least the torque went to the correct end of the car. - Luxury car must have the ultimate fit and finish. If I see steel in the gaps between the door panels and B pillar covers and it was't meant to be there, as were the window frames on 1980-1989 Town Cars, it isn't luxury. A feature most people don't even think about that I miss dearly from my '93 Town Car is the sill plate. Most cars today still don't have anything near as substantial as that was. It aged pretty well too, looking almost brand new when I cleaned it. What other items would a Town Car driver use without thinking that other drivers don't know they're missing? How about dual sun visors for both front seats? If the sun is at an angle or you aren't driving in a straight line you can effectively block out 30% of the area where the sun might shine into your eyes. Thats a big deal that I sorely miss. Honestly I was surprised to not find that in my wife's 40K SUV. In closing, I just want a darn Lincoln Town Car with truly modern powertrain and suspension. Install the BOSE active suspension, or the active sway bars BMW and Lexus have used. Include DSC and all of those other driver aides, and make available EVERY comfort feature that can be found on a car for less than 100K standard. That's right, standard. No options, no tiered pricing, just either you can afford it or you can't.

This was a really great video!

Great video! you have earned yourself a subscriber sir. I love your videos and how they are presented.

muy bonitos los town car... yo tengo.. un..03..;)

Love My 1997 Lincoln Town Car

wow, i never knew these were so reliable. also, just found your channel, great stuff. subbed.

I have a 2003 Town Car and a 2000 Grand Marquis, I love them both. Neither car has any trouble with Interstate speed and both are like riding a cloud. I will keep them until I die.

The 1998-2011 Lincoln Towncar could go 400,000 miles with good maintenance ... the MKX and these front wheel drive Lincolns were created so Ford could make money from service and parts. I will never buy one of the high tech luxury cars ...

a town car is nice but I do love my 2008 Cadillac DTS.

Great work, keep it up, proud of you

I once drove the Towncar. I was blown away. The ride and comfort are second to none.

NOT THE DOGSHIT WE HAVE BEFORE US NOW(300 NOTWITHSTANDING) ! LONG LIVE THE OLD-SCHOOL!!!

I was really hoping Lincoln Continental be RWD and new V8 engine but instead still having FWD and Ecoboost engine.

I had the car for a few days as a rental and drove it from Orlando down to Miami SoBe and the Keys, loved it.

How does this channel have so few subs? Brilliant!

This a luxury car? My S500 from 1998 eats this for Breakfast lol

I love the fail safe cooling.It saved my engine and got me home when the bearing went out in my cooling fan.

Perfectly well done!! I love my Town Car so much. Being an enormous Mark VIII enthusiast, I was really surprised how quickly this luxo barge with her couch-like seating, ginormous trunk and surprising acceleration got under my skin. Complete antithesis of the Mark VIII and that is just fine. =)

AS A FORMER LIMOUSINE driver I spent many hours in these Lincolns and I miss them. The company I worked for had 6 Lincoln stretches and 45 Town Cars and Cadillac DTS. Take a DTS sedan & an L.T.C. of equall age & mileage you'll find the Lincoln is always ready to ride while the Cadillac, arguably a more fun car to drive, has a worthless sized trunk and its Northstar engine will be low on oil and water and most likely in need of a jump start. The Lincoln Executive L is 6" longer than the regular sedan. The extra length gives it better ride... These cars use the same drivetrain and platform as the Crown Vic cop cars making them virtually indestructible and good for 350,000 miles or more. .. What a luxury car should be..

Watching you emerge from the trunk is priceless! Personally, I prefer the first year styling of these cars, but that generally holds true for me. Greater risk taking and usually purest in form.

What great content. Hard to believe this is a 6000 sub channel!

I love these! Hopefully Ill get my hands on a clean one in the future. I really like the blue silver color they had on these.

Born in '57 grew up first as a passenger in my father's Fords big cars from the '60s. At the '70s I used to drive the Fords LTD's until the end of the '80s. Later I bought my 1993 Lincoln Town Car and after a gap (due to the 2008 recession), I found a 2003 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series garaged for over 8 years. Pure and simple: I love comfort and silence driving and yes is pure luxury.

We let go of our 1991 Chrysler 5th Ave about a year ago...Wish we still had it for our friends to drive us around on holidays when we would be the lucky rear seat passengers. Those tufted (and rarely used) rear seats were the best! That little 3.3 V-6 moved it around just fine and could return 28 MPG on the highway!

Always a big fan of old and boxy cars!!! Keep on it!!!!!

I own a 04 Lincoln town car signature series with only 97,000 miles on it wouldn’t trade it for none of this new vehicles

I drive a 07’ town car. Just bought. Learned to drive on a 01’ sig limited. Amazing engine, I love the underpowered v8. Starting it up sounds so good. Steering is pretty good also (better than my ranger). Drive is so quiet on any street. I could easily go 80 in a 35 without noticing. Literally no road noise. Also for the V8: it punches when you shift down into another of those huge 4 gears.

Great review! Almost 2 years ago I helped my grandfather buy a 2004 model Ultimate Edition from auction with 158k on the odometer... what a great car it is! (:

I have a 2009 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and my great aunt has a 2004 grand marquis, she put it best when she told me “I just want a comfortable car the lasts, I feel like I’m driving my lazy boy, I love it!”

Great video! I have a 2007 TC that is awesome. Most of my driving is open highway now and it is the most comfortable car to cruise along in. It would be perfect if it had vented seats because it's pretty hot in the southwest here but just put a towel on the seat and it's fine!

Before you all laugh at the Town Car’s relatively low power output considering its 4.6 litre engine displacement and make some comment about your lawnmower having more power per litre, what you need to understand is this: the Town Car isn’t about speed or horsepower or quarter mile times. It’s all about delivering a smooth, comfortable and luxurious ride at any speed, and the Town Car delivers this in spades. It’s because of this that I like to think of the Town Car as a ‘poor man’s Mercedes S-Class’. This also applies to the Town Car’s sister cars, the Ford Crown Victoria & the Mercury Grand Marquis. Not only that, but because of the body-on-frame design and the fact that the Town Car’s V8 engine is massively under-stressed, the Town Car, along with its aforementioned Ford and Mercury sister cars, is notoriously reliable - one Town Car featured on Scotty Kilmer’s ‘Show-Off Sunday’ series on KZfaq had done 486,000 miles (486,609 miles, to be exact) at the time of filming.
