1977 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe review from North America
"Drive a 70's Lincoln and no other luxury car will ever satisfy you again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Small plastic clip that holds transmission gear selector to the transmission cracked and fell off. So gear selector was attached to nothing. Repaired by small shop in rural Colorado for $38.10!
Needed rebuilt carb. - original carb. was warped - common with these cars.
General comments?
Beautiful, comfortable, roomy, safe and elegant.
These cars are BUILT! This is my third Lincoln - have owned a 78 Diamond Jubilee Mark V and an 88 Town Car - this one is my favorite. The styling is perfection - every line and proportion is right - car has no bad angles.
Bought this car as a trip car - huge trunk, smooth ride, seats like sofas, plenty of room to spread out. Have taken it to Colorado, Ohio, Florida and Canada. Very reliable - perfect car to travel in.
Handling is much better than you would expect for a car this large and heavy.
These cars are going cheap right now - if you like them go out and get yourself a bargain!
