1990 Lincoln Town Car: Motor Trend Car of the Year

The 1990 Lincoln (http://autos.yahoo.com/lincoln/) Town Car was barely more than a re-skinned version of its immediate predecessor, a lame tub designed to wring a couple more years of profits out of decades-old technology. Sure, the 1990 Town Car’s wheelbase grew an entire tenth of an inch—from 117.3 to 117.4 inches—and overall length was up 1.2 inches, but virtually every mechanical element was carryover. That included the float-tuned suspension, the Nimitz-class steering circle, the arthritic 150-hp 4.9-liter V-8, and the slough-shifting four-speed automatic transmission. At least the looks were marginally improved and, if you’re going to pass out drunk on the floor of a car, it’s hard to think of a better machine than a stretched Town Car limo.


The Town Car got better in 1991 when Ford’s then-new 190-hp V-8 replaced the old pushrod engine, but after that it remained technologically stagnant until it was once again superficially redesigned for 1998. It didn’t even try to be new.
These guys are a joke!
4.9 in a Ford?
Who's passed out on the floor?:lol:

It appears that anyone who can type an use spell check (sometimes not even that) can and does qualify as a "journalist".
I wish I could spew junk like that AND get paid for it!

Too bad. I liked them all, except the H3. Tahoe with a body kit. :(

Bradley, is that from car & drivers website themselves?

Funny they don't know the facts, why dont they mention it had 270ft/lbs of torque? And besides, most of the ninety's luxury sales were dominated by ford with great sales of these Town Cars, it was the flagship of the company, which declined when they redesigned it for 98.
