A popular choice with limo companies and car services, the Lincoln Town-Car is a full-sized luxurysedan. Offering comfortable seating for six, plenty of legroom and generous trunk space, this luxury car transports passengers and luggage in style. While its capable V8 engine and rear-wheel drive deliver a smooth ride, the Lincoln Town-Car does not offer the fuel efficiency expected from newer sedans. But, if you're looking for a traditional American luxury car for personal or business use, the Lincoln Town-Car was really in a class of its own. It was discontinued in 2011, but you can find well-maintained used sedans and limousines like the Lincoln Town-Car for sale on Kijiji Autos.
A brief history of the Lincoln Town-Car
While the first-generation Lincoln Town-Car hit the market in 1981, this iconic name in luxury cars has been around for much longer. The car takes its name from a style of 1920s limousine and was inspired by the popularity of the Cadillac DeVille. The first Lincoln Town-Cars were trim levels on Lincoln Continental sedans produced in 1959, 1969 and 1971 through to 1980. After becoming a standalone model in 1981, the Lincoln Town-Car evolved through three generations, marking the peak of luxury for the Lincoln brand at the time. First-generation Lincoln Town-Cars are quite boxy, inspired by 1970s sedans, while later generations offer a smoother, more aerodynamic design and more up-to-date safety and comfort features.
Lincoln Town-Car features to look for
As with any car with a long production period, available features will vary between model years and trim levels. The third generation of the Lincoln Town-Car ran from 1998 to 2011 with a minor redesign in 2003. The 2011 Lincoln Town-Car is available in two body styles, with the Lincoln Town-Car L offering an extra six inches in length. Both models are equipped with a 239-horsepower 4.6-litre V8 engine, rear-wheel drive and four-speed automatic transmission. While predating many modern safety technologies, the Lincoln Town-Car is outfitted with front airbags, traction control and anti-lock brakes. Available comfort and convenience features include leather upholstery, heated seats, power-adjustable pedals and seats, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
