1985 Lincoln Town Car Signature review from North America
"A smooth and classy set of wheels for not a lot of $$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
This car defines luxury, plain and simple. If you happen to find one of these vehicles for a few hundred dollars, BUY IT! This vehicle is roomy, smooth, quiet, elegant, classy, and just plain cool. All you need to do is point the hood ornament to where you want to go!
The trunk is huge!
My Lincoln is affordable to maintain. I made the mistake of getting a "torque converter transfusion" where they blow out the old fluid with new. Of course, the old filter was still in place and this operation succeeded in blowing metal bits all into the transmission and therefore ruining the shift valves. HOWEVER, the cost for a full rebuild on my AOD transmission is only $800.00 for parts AND labor!
