1995 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series review from North America

The intake manifold went out shortly after I bought the car @ 83K miles.

A miss developed shortly after changing the intake manifold. Observed arching under the hood after dark. Changed plug wires to correct. Also changed plugs, filters and PCV's as standard tune-up procedures.

This is a beautiful car. Very solid and quiet. It handles the road very well, a little lofty, but that’s a Lincoln Town Car, it’s not a sports car. Took a bit to get used to (I also have a Toyota Supra) so you can imagine.

The leather interior is very soft and everything leather should be. I drive this car daily to and from work about 20 miles each way. I’m getting 21mpg overall average. I have gotten 26 on the highway, but normally run about 24/25 on the road.

I put a trailer hitch in the car and pull my 1500lb boat with it. Loaded the boat with another 800lbs of gas and gear, four adults in the car with another 200lbs of gear in the trunk and got 18mpg on a 2000 mile trip to Canada.

The auto leveling air suspension is wonderful. This is a luxury utility machine that will take my family on many a camping trips, etc. My big truck @ 11mpg will stay home, only to be used for the heaviest of chores.

The engine impresses me all the time. This big thing moves when you need it to. The transmission shifts smoothly and confidently, a true flag ship. Breaking isn’t great, but it is a 4000lb car.

If you buy one that has been cared for, you won’t be disappointed. I changed the intake manifold my self at a cost of about $200. Costs upwards of $1000 to have the dealer do it. You can buy the reinforced manifold for about $165. It has a cast aluminum coolant cross over pipe which is what goes out on the plastic manifold.
