1984 Lincoln Town Car review from North America
"An old and good friend. A dandy automobile"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Manifold gaskets failed at 12,000 and again at 21,000.
Main computer module failed in first year and again in 10th year.
Raw fuel smell bothersome since 300,000.
Driver's door window chatter started 1994.
Many component replacements have been completed after normal wear.
Transmission and differential are original as are all body parts and most of the bulbs.
General comments?
This is an exceptionally fine automobile and continues to serve me well. It provided me with classy wheels while I was still working and continues to serve me (and my faithful dog, Jake) with dependability and all the power and speed I could possibly need.
