I won’t tolerate the lincoln town car being used as the butt end of a joke. The previous generation lincoln town cars from 1990-1997 are some of the nicest sedans ever made. Super comfortable, good gas mileage (better than the newest generation that we all think of when we hear licoln towncar), extremely easy to replace and maintain mechanics (panther platform) and overall an absurdly comfortable car.

It is probably one of the most genuinely good American cars ever made and they are hilariously cheap (you can get them for <5 grand in good condition) because nobody really remembers them except old people.

American car companies broke the automotive unions and the quality went to shit, but the 1990-1997 run of town cars definitely represent a high water mark of American cars built by people that were truly proud of what they made (because they had some degree of decency ensured by the presence of unions). You can find one on craigslist and chances are everything except the air ride suspension (probs replaced by now with traditional spring suspension) probably still works even though it is a 30 year old vehicle selling for dirt cheap.

Fun fact, the tech bro who jadzia in DS9 convinces to help her in the episode that sisko becomes Bell of the Bell riots rode around in a jet black lincoln town car of this generation.

Awesome car, I almost bought one but went for a toyota sienna instead because minivans are the ultimate power form.
