1989 Lincoln Continental Signature review from North America
"A nice ride and comfortable interior"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint, the paint did not hold up well, especially the upper surfaces, this I have been told was a very common problem for all 1989 Ford products. A full repaint did not cure the problem. There was no help offered by the company.
There are too many faults to list them separately, the entire car has been a constant trip to the shop.
The Lincoln/Mercury division of Ford seems to have no desire to be of service whatsoever.
