This Lincoln Town Car looks pretty good doesn't it? Probably because there is only 21,000 miles on the clock. Always garaged, this well preserved Town Car is the most perfect 30 year old car to see. Here's some Town Car history: After lagging behind Cadillac and Chrysler, Lincoln became the final American manufacturer to downsize their full-size cars in 1980. The 1980 Continental shared the Panther platform with full-size counterparts from Ford and Mercury, which adopted it for the 1979 model year. In comparison to the 1979 Continental, the 1980 model shed approximately 900 lb , 1 in in width, 14 inches in length, and 10 inches in wheelbase. Despite these dimensional regressions, engineering changes, such as the lack of sufficient engine compartment room to fit a big-block engine, allowed an increase in trunk space. As the 1970s Lincolns had sold well towards the end of their production run, much of its styling was carried onto the Panther platform, including its blade-like fenders, fake vent windows, and the Rolls-Royce grille shape. In contrast to 1970s models, most models wore exposed headlights, with the exception being the Mark VI models. The downsizing of the Continental marked the beginning of an expansion of the Lincoln lineup. As the division had relied nearly entirely on full-size cars, Lincoln split the Continental and the Town Car into separate models. The Lincoln Mark's were considered the mid-size models and the Town Car was the full-size luxury car complete with just about every option you could think of including leather seats, moon roof and padded vinyl roof. Thanks very much for viewing this like new 1984 Lincoln Town Car.
