Sorry to say, but I was behind the wheel of both, and the Park Avenue was more softly sprung IMO. I can see that the body on frame might make for a more solid feeling, but to me the suspension tuning makes all the difference. The 2010 Town Car was still body on frame, but with the stiff suspension it was no comparison to my Buick with unibody. The '99 Town Car and my Buick were very close, but to me the Buick suspension was tuned slightly softer. To me, after 2002 Lincoln ruined their suspension. That 2010 didn't even ride like a full-size luxury car. Maybe after the springs got some miles on them, they would soften up a little?

My father use to say his mid 70s loaded Chrysler Newport rode better than his Town Car. Likely due to the far more comfortable double padded factory seating on the Chrysler. It was a big model at the time with hideaway lights and non post windows. He owned the Chrysler prior and never sold it through 2 new Town Cars he bought later.
