1979 Lincoln Town Car review from North America
"The finest contemporary Lincoln ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! This car is as new as a 35,000 mile car can get. Everything works as it should.
General comments?
This 79 Lincoln Town Car is a Luxury car owners dream. I am the 3rd owner. The first being an elderly couple. The second was a car collector.
It outclasses any new luxury car on the road today. The seats are cushy yet give plenty of support. Like sitting on a fine soft recliner. The trunk is massive and completely carpeted.
The engine is the standard 400 cubic inch V8 and offers average performance. The car is not meant for performance driving, but accelerates to interstate speeds in fine fashion. I can turn this car with one finger.
Where the Cadillac of the same year was full of glitz and glitter, the Lincoln offered a more subtle refined luxury. This was the big Lincoln's finest hour. This big luxury sedan will cruise for hours at 65-75 mph and not even breath hard.
Todays luxury car designers and makers have truly lost their way. What the auto makers call a big car today is nothing more than a mid-sized automobile. This car has everything you need and nothing you don't need. No cup holders here.
This car will not be leaving our stable for a long, long time.
