Lincoln Town Car

The early ’80s brought much-needed downsizing to the American car industry, and enormous cars with monster engines were a thing of the past. Lincoln responded by presenting a very popular Town Car model built on Ford’s venerable Panther platform and powered by a 5.0-liter V8. The Town Car was a recognizable boxy-shaped sedan with a prominent chrome grille, bumpers, and a comfortable ride. It was a typically styled luxury model, and buyers loved its proportions, soft ride, and plush interior.
