1996 Lincoln Town Car Executive Series 4.6 V8
Summary:
A very luxurious and reliable car
Faults:
The radiator thermostat cap blew once because the car overheated.
It very very rarely stalls due to faulty timing belt.
The check engine light loves to come on frequently.
General Comments:
The Lincoln Town Car is one luxurious American car.
I am very pleased with its comfort, styling, reliability, and handling for such a large car.
It is loaded with tons of amenities, such as standard 8-way power seats, mirrors, windows, cassette player, plush leather interior, key less entry key pad and fob, wood grain interior trim, automatic headlights, trip computer, and the list goes on and on.
Car is fast when you push its strong V-8. Have raised and beaten many cars.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My Uncle just acquired a 1996 Town Car Signature this week. He replaced a 1990 version (he is a Lincoln guy). As a GM guy myself, I must give Ford Motor Company credit for retaining the last real American Luxury Car format. I am a HUGE fan of the old "square style" (1980-1992) Cadillac Broughams. Caddy restyled the RWD cars in '93 as a reaction to the '90 Town Car, but the Lincoln was simply better styled (as was Buick's Roadmaster). The 1996 version's interior is a nice update. For those who like the more modern styling (inside & out), but demand a REAL rear wheel drive & full-sized car, the 1990-1997 Town Cars, and the 1992-1995 Buick Roadmasters are it. Long Live Luxus Americanus!
