1991 Lincoln Town Car review from North America
"Buy one for $5,000, put $2,000 into it, and own a car that is superior to any $50,000 import"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air suspension system's air springs failed at 140,000 miles.
The leather seats are worn and cracked.
The paint has faded badly.
The paint is coming off of the rear plastic bumper.
The power window motors have been repaired on each window at 130,000 miles.
The air conditioning system was replaced at 100,000 miles.
The power antenna stopped working.
The headliner began to fall down at 130,000 miles.
The car burns a quart of oil per 1000 miles.
General comments?
Despite the repairs I have had to make, I love this car.
The comfort when driving the car is unmatched.
This car is easy to drive.
The look of this car is classic. The '91 Town Car is one of the last of the truly "big cars", which we may never see again.
The car has surprising acceleration ability. When I "step on it", my teenage son's eyebrows rise in approval.
I plan on fixing, repainting and reupholstering this car, and owning it until the end of time.
