1982 Lincoln Town Car Sedan

The Lincoln Town Car is a model line of full-size luxury sedans that was marketed by the Lincoln division of the American automaker Ford Motor Company from 1980 to 2011.  Deriving its name from a limousine body style, the Town Car first appeared in 1959 as a sub-model of the Continental Mark IV, returning as a trim line of the Lincoln Continental from 1969 to 1980.  For 1981, the Town Car became a model line in its own right, replacing the Continental as the full-size Lincoln, a position it would hold through its discontinuation.

For consignment, a Lincoln Town Car in total square and rectangle design, landau top, chromed trimmings and plenty of passenger and storage space.  All bathed in classy dark blue, this 4 door sedan has a consignor stated mere 46,324 miles however, the title reads mileage exempt, runs swimmingly, is a 2 owner car and has always been garage kept.  Why not add a little luxury from the Blue Oval corner into your life?

Exterior
In a design that was ubiquitous in the early 1980's, straight lines are abundant.  The radiator grille is rectangular in shape and has a shiny surround with vertical ribbed thin posts in the center.  Dual rectangular headlights are on either side.  Midnight Blue Metallic paint with some age spots, inclusions and dings are seen throughout.  Also, some red pin striping shows up on the slab sided panels.  Side moldings are on near the beltline, and there is some light age wear off damage to the vinyl caps that are on top of the stainless below.  The roof of the passenger compartment is wrapped in dark blue vinyl and appears in very good condition.  Plenty of trimmings abound within the blue field and most are in good condition adding highlighting throughout.  The very squared off straight line trunk has side vertical angular tail lighting as well as some centered red light panels just below the trunk lid.  Wire wheels covers are on all 4 corners and present nicely wrapped in thin white wall radials dating from 2015.

Interior
Beautiful and luxurious dark blue covers most of the interior surfaces.  All controls are within the silver door panel inserts and have a wood appliqué background just above which adds some nice contrast to the dark blue vinyl and carpet below.  Well preserved dark blue overstuffed large velour buckets are separated by a fold down armrest.  If up, it could accommodate a 3rd passenger upfront.  The rear bench is just as luxurious and affords plenty of legroom.  The steering wheel has controls for the cruise control and on the dash is a mixture dark blue padded vinyl and faux burl surrounds the black faced analog gauges.  This holds true for the radio/cassette player and climate control center.  On top is padded blue vinyl and it is in very good condition.  Dark blue deep pile carpeting is reserved for the floors and a new tight dark blue broadcloth headliner is above.

Drivetrain
Lifting the hood we see the original unrestored drivetrain in the patina engine bay. This is in the form of a 302ci V8.  CFI electronic fuel injection adds to efficiency and an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission is attached to the back. The rear axle is a Ford 8.8-inch rear which has a 3.08 gear ratio.  The engine bay has some rust and corrosion, typical of an unrestored car of this age.

Undercarriage
Some slight surface rust on the usual suspects, with no invasive rust to note on the floor pans, rockers and full perimeter frame.  Independent coil springs provide the ride up front and, on the back, a 4 link with coil springs do the same for the rear.  Power disc brakes in front, and power drums for the rear and we note a stock style single exhaust for the exhale.

Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and I sat in the back for this test drive, and it was a great ride.   My driver reported good acceleration, good handling, and A/C that does work and a single flaw of the right turn signal not working, possibly due to a bad bulb.  I need to add, I'm going on his word because it was so comfortable, I fell asleep!

A beautiful, classy color combination, plenty of conveniences, and wonderful blue velour combine to offer up a nice luxury car.  From the stand-alone front grille to all the exterior trim, and smooth ride, this is a good used car. A list of new mechanical parts is available for your viewing.
