Base model means least additions.
Minimal additions means I add only what I want.
Also, means less BS to fix when getting the vehicle the way I want it.
That's my reasoning. It's easier to ADD something than to modify it.2011 Mustang GT Premium, MT82, Kona/Saddle, HIDs, 3.73s, 19s, hood/side stripes, UPR 1.5" springs with adjustable panhard bar, and UMI solid LCAs and relocation brackets.

My reasoning?

I like plushy stuff. I really want digital dash in my car, but I'm not going to rip the whole dashboard apart to change the wiring harness. The passenger side power seat I added is also quite nice, as the armrest looked silly without more buttons in there. Keyless entry is nice, but not a big deal for me, as is the trunk muncher.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I like it cause its less shit to break and it makes the car lighter as well. I do want power windows tho, it would suck driving my delta as a downpour came and Im trying to roll up the pass rear window while driving.Chris - A 20th Century Man \m/ ^.^ \m/Comment

The looks options can go... the granny trim, vinyl top and its center piece are too frilly for me.
I like the interior options though... Im going for the best of both worldsPete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

What would be considered "base" on a Towncar?
Tom, what's your obsession with base models? I don't know. But which would you rather be obsessed with:dildos, or base models? I'd pick base models too lolComment

GL, a base TC is the Executive model - leather seats without built-in "pillows", single power seat, analog dash, no uder-seat courtesy lights, no lighted mirrors in the sunshades, no trunk-pull, no delay or auto-lamp, no alarm, Premium Sound (not JBLs), single exhaust, 3.08 open rear end, usually steel wheels with covers (vs. regular turbines and lacy-spoked turbines). Think that's about it.Comment

Yup, that about covers it. True base models also have a full vinyl roof. The full roof models also have a bigger rear window. They also don't have the keyless entry. 89 base models had a high back seat with the adjustable headrests. Before that, it was a low back seat with the useless headrests.Originally posted by Ivan D86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Hm, my babe is some kind of a bastard child then, cause she came with the turbines, and the seats do have the adjustable headrests (I love those). She was born in March 1987, so not even a true '88 - go figure.Comment
