Is this 1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature series collectable? Ill leave that for you to decideand#44; but the truth isand#44; if you were to put one away as a future classicand#44; this would be the one. And thats not even taking into consideration that these are just fantastic highway cars with impeccable road manners and an interior that is more like an isolation chamber. All for under $10 grand? Yeahand#44; I can see how this car would have a lot of fans. Classicand#44; timeless colors should always be how you order your big luxury sedans because they always look right. This handsome silver car was built near the end of the line for the formaland#44; upright Town Car styling that really dated back to the early 70sand#44; and it has aged quite well now that its practically become an icon. Its about a mile longand#44; an impression that is reinforced by the straight bodywork and shiny silver paintand#44; which was refinished in 2006. It shows about 93and#44;000 milesand#44; which we have every reason to believe is authenticand#44; and build quality on these cars was such that it still feels tight and solid. Of courseand#44; theres plenty of chrome and bright trimand#44; all of which is in good condition and really sparkles against that black paintand#44; from the baroque grille to the shiny rocker moldings. Add in the padded half roof and it almost looks like a mini (thats a relative termand#44; by the way) limousine. Plush velour upholstery was the ultimate in luxury in 1989 and the all-original interior is in very good condition. The seatsand#44; carpetsand#44; and door panels make it feel very private and upscale inside with just a few touches of chrome and faux wood to liven things up. The instruments are Lincolns traditional square dials with round gauges insideand#44; a look thats still in use today in the Navigator. And as youd expectand#44; everything is standardand#44; from automatic climate control (the upgraded A/Cand#44; which has been upgraded to R134a could use a charge to get back to top performance) to cruise controland#44; to cool power windows with little vent windows that go down first. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo is fitted and theres massive stretch-out room in backand#44; so you can take the whole family on road trips and nobody will complain about the first-class accommodations. The trunk is truly hugeand#44; able to handle all their gear and finished in gray mouse-fur upholstery thats in outstanding condition. Fords fuel-injected 5.0 liter V8 was the sole powerplantand#44; and youll surely recognize it as the same one found in Mustangs of the period. OKand#44; its not as powerful as the Mustang unitand#44; but its unbeatably smooth and torquey and moves the big Town Car without working too hard. The fuel injection system has proven itself to be bulletproof and yesand#44; if youre that kind of guyand#44; all the Mustang modifications will work on this carand#44; making it potentially one heck of a sleeper. Backed by an AOD 4-speed automatic transmissionand#44; its a tranquil highway cruiser and it probably goes without saying that the suspension soaks up bumps and potholes like a hovercraft. Power steering and power brakes mean that this yacht is easy to handle and its equipped with shiny wire wheels that give it an upscale lookand#44; especially with 215/70/15 whitewall radials wrapped around them. Nicely preserved and an excellent specimen in a great colorand#44; this is a heck of a lot of first-class transportation for not a lot of cashand#44; regardless of its future collectability.
