1978 Lincoln Town Car review from North America

Drivers side power seats... don't all work, power vent windows on driver side needs a little help moving up and down.

Air conditioner does not give out cold air.

This is my first car at the age of 17, after working a year at w-mart and other odd jobs, I thought I would treat myself to buying it. bought it for under 3k at 31k miles (slightly funny story we thought it was kilometres... kinda of a surprise when the appraisal came in for over 100k)

The seats are quite comfortable (velour- red) and like new, repairs were quite minimal new tires, brakes etc (under 1k) I love the power seats I'm used to it being located by the seat as opposed to beside the seat...haven't really tried the controls while driving... but shouldn't be to difficult to get used too.

There is absolutely, no major rust on the vehicle, other than a few chips.

Gas mileage - atrocious... we test drove it only once so far... and the gas tank went from 3/4 to 1/2 in what seemed like a very short period of time. (I'm a bit frightened of driving it because I'm used to a mini-van)

Stereo - cheap aftermarket tape cassette... will leave as it is... a cd player would ruin the interior.

Dislikes - no opera light/carriage light... even though it says it's a towncar it doesn't have one... which rather disappointed me... but makes it unique I guess.

Advice - be careful what car insurance company you go with... its been hell trying to get this rig insured... first they say they don't need an appraisal, then they say they do, they say it must be a certified appraisal person (but won't say how to find that out), and you can't talk to anyone in person...
