Since I'm new here, I figure it would be fun to do one of these!
This here is my 1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series. It is my first car and I bought it when I was sixteen. I wanted to get one of these ever since there was a 1988 TC for sale down the street from my house. I almost bought that one but the price was too high considering the condition it was in.
I bought this beauty for $2,000. (Yes, I know, that's a high price for these cars, but whatever.) While it had over 215k on the odometer, it was hard to tell. The drivetrain was smooth and the inside and out of the car was well-taken care of with no rust whatsoever. The previous owner also threw in a set of brand new driver and passenger door panels, dash trim, shop manual, and electrical & vacuum diagram book with the purchase. Not bad!
As far as options go, it has most of the standard Signature equipment. It doesn't have the digital dash or leather seats, but that doesn't really bother me. It does have the carriage roof, which got annoying at times when the front part of it would fall down over the windshield. I ended up using paper clips to hold it up before finally super-gluing it into place. The car is also pretty stock except for the head unit and a 12" subwoofer. It also has some "Town Car" mudflaps on it that I like and what looks like a CB antenna (without a CB unit.)
I drove this car during my last two years of high school and put another 17k on during my two years of ownership (two years as of yesterday!) Despite the high mileage and ridiculous amount of parts I've had to put into it, I don't plan on parting with it! Many of the systems on the Lincoln are fairly simple and not really intimidating for an amateur like me to work on. Plus I love the styling too, it's unmistakable! I'd like to eventually buy another one someday, either as a DD or a project. I like the look of the 85-87 Grand Marquis a lot.
