Okay, so this is a gas guzzling 4 door sedan dinosaur but its mine and I like it. I am the second owner of this car and it is in totally original unrestored condition. Let me tell you about this boat. It has the reputable 460 cu. in. engine with 70,000 miles and the curb weight is about 5,073 lbs. The ride of this Town Car is magnificent! It has the smoothest ride I have ever experienced in a luxury car and I have ridden or have driven Cadillacs, Mercedes, Buicks, Oldsmobiles, etc., and this car absolutely floats. AND quiet! I have mistakenly tried to restart the car without looking at an idiot light thinking that the engine had died, and no, it was still running, I just couldnt hear it. This Lincoln does not have all of the options available but does have an automatic tranny, power steering, seats, windows, antenna, door locks, trunk release, A/C, climate control thermometer, Cartier clock - still works, map light, wire wheel covers, fender skirts, double pinstripe, vinyl padded roof, and dual remote mirrors. The only item not factory is the AM/FM tape player of which I have yet to install my factory unit. The interior is flawless finished in a mustard color velour and vinyl. The carpeting is in finished in a shag type of pile which was popular in the seventies both in cars and in homes. The trunk is huge and the original spare is present. During the video tour notice under the hood the two black coffee can vacuum pumps for the hidden headlights which still operate. I taped this car from a distance to show off the side view and the fact that this car is over 19 1/2 feet in length. I have won numerous trophies at car shows. So yes, this car is heavy, powerful, and a gas guzzler getting 12mpg in the city and at best 17 mpg on the highway. Cars of the 70s were commonly gas hogs until the great gas squeeze due to the Yom Kippur War in the middle east. At that point, U.S. car makers scrambled to reduce the size and bulk of cars making a lot of downsized models look unproportionate and an incomplete design. Lately though, car collectors are looking twice at seventies cars though and four door sedans in particular as being more appreciated and collectible. Perhaps this video will reevaluate your own feelings for old dinosaurs. ( Heres a hint for you car enthusists that want to clean up the engine compartment....Spray WD-40 on a COLD engine. Dont wipe, just let it drip off the grime and do it in the street - not your driveway so as not to stain. WD will, upon several applications, melt the grime away without leaving a residue like engine cleaners do but does leave a sheen on rubber and plastic. You can wipe off excess WD with a cloth because it really cleans surfaces. Again, since WD is flammable, only use on a stone COLD, I repeat - COLD engine compartment. )
