    Things I Miss About My Town Car

    Four months after I traded my '06 Anniversary Town Car for the MKt, there are some things I miss about my former ride. 1. V8 Power. Quiet low end torque. 2. Interior. The MKt interior is quite nice, but the back seat of the Town Car is a true oasis of luxury. 3. Aft visibility. Thank...

    Goodbye Town Car, Hello MKt

    Hated to do it, but I traded my 2006 25th Anniversary Town Car as we now need an all wheel drive vehicle. We now have a 2010 MKt that looks exactly like the one in the revolving home page image. Looks like we've joined a rather exclusive club of owners. Pics to come.

    Audi vs. Town Car Commercial

    Saw this extended commercial during last night's Emmy telecast and I'm still not sure that I "get it." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JErgxLbayJ0 I don't know where to start. :err-what?:

    Digital Speedo

    I used to have a digital speedometer readout on my info cluster but it went away while I was cycling through the "screens." Anybody know how I can restore it on my '06 TC?

    Road Trip

    Getting ready to take the '06 on its first "extended" road trip since aquisition; a 1200 mile roundtrip to East Tennessee. Looking forward to it, as these cars were made to gobble miles and miles of highway. Just want to make sure I don't get TOO comfortable, so there will be semi-frequent...

    LOD Carlisle Dash Plaque

    Like most folks here, I probably have dozens of dash plaques from car shows over the years. One of these days, I might have them framed but for now they remain in waiting, put away in a stack like baseball cards. To be honest the handsome 2013 LOD Ford Carlisle Nationals plaque is the only...

    Treasures from Carlisle

    Aside from a trophy and/or a well worn sombrero, what did you bring home from the big show?

    Motor Oil

    Going to have to change the oil soon for the first time in my newly acquired '06 LTC. What kind/brand of oil do you use in your late generation cars? Also, I would imagine it would be necessary to hit the "reset" button on the oil life reading afterward?

    2012 Ventnor New Jersey Auto Fest

    This looks like a fun show with food, music and wheels this Saturday, just south of Atlantic City. Registration is FREE. It would be great to see some classic Lincolns there. http://www.ventnortourism.org/ventnor-autofest-2012/

    Town Car Models

    Diecast models of the Lincoln Town Car have usually been limited to stretch limos and early generation cars but I've finally found a nice rendering of the last generation TC. They are available in black, white and silver and come with a base that reads "2011 Town Car." They cost about $50...

    "Hit and Run"

    There have been literally dozens of movies with the title "Hit and Run" but none has "starred" a Lincoln Continental until now. A custom '67 is the vehicle of choice in a new low budget action film now in theaters. The car was actually the inspiration for the movie, not the other way around...

    Highest Mileage TC?

    Who's the king/queen? I'll have to admit I only have 101k on my '99 with hopefully a lot more to come although I'm shopping for a newer model.

    Summer Road Trips

    Where have you been? Where are you going? We're headed from Philly to Lancaster PA next weekend for the Renaissance Faire. There may be a few trips to the NJ Shore after that. Nothing really looong distance this summer for us.

    One Loud TC

    This will either make you smile or make you cringe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzoQV5YWsCo One thing is for sure: lots of surprised looks at stoplights. :D

    Premium or Regular?

    Just wondering what kind of fuel everyone runs in their TCs. I heed the advice of the sticker on the inside of my fuel door and run 93 oct, figuring with all the weight and only 200 or so bhp, I need all the boost I can get. Maybe it helps with fuel economy too. I also buy brand gasoline...
