1989 Lincoln Town Car Signature Series

Virginia Car Sold New in Northern New Jersey

& HPOF
Almost Every Option Available When New - Original Paint & Interior -
No Rust Ever
Four New WSW Firestone Tires and Much Other Work Since Taken Out of Storage
Finished in Light Titanium Pearl Metallic with
a matching Landau-style top and Dark Blue Premium Leather Interior, this
final year Town Car left the factory in Wixom, Michigan during the last
month of classic Town Car production, on the 22nd of June, 1989. It was
sold new a month later at Ditschman Ford-Lincoln-Mercury on Rt. 202 in Flemington,
NJ and apparently retired to Florida along with its original owner, with
whom it would seem to have remained for almost a decade and a half, at which
point the car had just over 52,000 miles. It then came to Virginia in 2004,
registered first near Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, then moved about
an hour northeast to Madison Heights, near Lynchburg, where it was part
of a small automobile dealer's collection of unusual low-mileage cars until
last month.
(This information is per the printed CarFax report I have on hand, yes,
it's guaranteed clean as a whistle in that regard, too.)
The final year classic 1980s Town Car was an
imposing one, definitely more so than the car that would take Lincoln through
the 1990s!
The car wears its original paint throughout
and is straight and solid with no evidence of any body repairs - anywhere.
The finish has gotten a bit thin on the tops of the front fenders and in
places on the hood but it still shines right up and looks terrific.
Just yesterday, I fitted four new Firestone
Precision Touring 215/70/15 whitewalls to the original alloys, filled them
with nitrogen and performed a front end alignment. The car had a set of
Bridgestones on it from 1997 that had some sidewall cracking that troubled
me enough to change them. These were not tires that had been languishing
in a warehouse, either; they have date codes of the 36th and 37th weeks
of 2013, so they are fresh off the production line. Please note that all
four alloys are this sharp and are secured by one factory-equipped McGard
wheel lock per wheel - the key to these is on the lug wrench in the trunk.
You will notice that even all the trim mouldings
and chrome down the sides is free of any damage.
No parking lot dings here, either!
Notice the original selling dealer's sticker
on the deck lid!
Close up!
The original hand-painted pinstripe also survives
throughout the car!
The radio aerial also works great.
A terrific looking car from any angle!
Note the late build date!
Both driver and passenger mirrors are heated
with the rear defog, and the driver's mirror has a good working thermometer.
At night, it lights up!
Do you know the code? I do - and this works
great.
Illuminated entry works well - if the door is
locked, flip up on the handle and the little lamps in the lock cylinders
light up along with all the interior courtesy lights.
One of the necessary repairs I undertook to
attempt to perfect this Lincoln was to replace the power lock motor on this
door. This panel was off the car on Saturday and back on on Sunday. Lincoln
did not make it easy to service this part and they do not support it well,
only Chinese replacements. I was very lucky - I took a trip over to the
junkyard and found a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis with a recently replaced
OEM lock motor which I disassembled, cleaned and reassembled, then made
a moisture barrier for it far better than Ford had designed before refitting
it to the car. I took the liberty of lubricating the window regulator while
I was in here. It was operating well but it will be assured of trouble-free
operation for many more years now with fresh grease on the tracks. There
are no cracks in this door panel anywhere and all the clips, moisture barrier
and sound insulation went back in without any trouble.
If you've never had one, the power windows on
these Town Cars are really neat - first the vent window goes down, then
the main window.
Another repair was to make the temperature gauge
work, simply the underhood sensor on the intake manifold. All the gauges
work. The clock has been somewhat finicky, it wants to slow down around
5 o'clock and then once it's past 6 it starts working again. With regular
use it should come back to life. Notice here the tilt column and cruise
controls on the steering wheel, the cruise works perfectly, holds, accelerates
and coasts as it should on command.
Nice options here - auto dimming high beams
and delay headlamps - definitely not standard equipment.
As of today, this is the car's mileage from
new. It may go up slightly before the close of auction due to test drives
or I might want to take it somewhere!
The climate control works great - the A/C blows
ice cold and is miraculously still R12, not a conversion.
Purists are cringing - the radio was replaced
with a modern Sony AM/FM/CD/MP3 with Aux input and is Satellite ready should
you want that. Sadly, the original radio was not with the car when I got
it, but I managed to find a nice 1989 Ford Premium Audio Cassette deck correct
to this car that had been rebuilt not long ago...
This will be included with the car should you
wish to return to the original stereo, the original amplifier and all wiring
appears to be intact and the donor car gave a short pigtail from its wiring
just in case it is needed to repair any from the Sony installation. These
late 1980s Ford radios are quite often bad (no wonder this was overhauled
by Southern Electronics in 2006, probably not the first time, either) so
my preference would be to keep the Sony but I thought it would be nice to
have one of these go with the car as well.
Both driver and passenger get illuminated vanity
mirrors in this car.
The headliner is original and perfect.
The Signature Series was the top of the line
and these seats are a great example of Lincoln luxury from this period.
Even in the Signature, leather was a major extra cost option - velour was
the norm in these cars. I think you're starting to get the picture here
- this was not the sort of car purchased new for a livery service. I just
treated the leather with Gliptone cleaner and conditioner and it is nice
and soft. The carpets throughout are also extra plush and come with carpeted
mats, not rubber.
Rear seat passengers get reading lamp and window
switches as well as door ashtrays and lighters.
The rear seat in this car is superb and appears
to never have been sat in.
Same style panel and switches on this side...
Similar condition to the seat as well!
Another repair I just did today as I found it
necessary was the power seat switch on this side had some buildup in it;
the rear of the seat would go up, but not down. I dismantled and cleaned
it and now it works again as it should. Power window and power lock switches
here as well as the 6 way seat controls and an ashtray. The window goes
up and down great just like the driver's side.
Dash, carpets, everything is in tip-top shape
throughout.
The passenger's seat has next to no wear at
all. The driver's seat looks terrible in this photo and it does not in real
life, it is just fine.
Even with all those ashtrays, none were ever
used, nor were the Lincoln emblem lighters.
The car also retains its original owners manual
folder, plus some service records, state inspection tickets and the manual
to the new radio.
The luggage compartment is very tidy with no
stains. The original Michelin spare tire has never been on the ground and
still has protective coating on the whitewall. The jack and lug wrench are
also there.
I'm sure you already noticed the trunk pull
down!
As well as the power release latch. All of this
works great, no issues at all.
I did not detail the engine compartment, this
is how I found it and I chose to leave it alone. It is very tidy in here.
Note the new gauge sender just below the distributor and slightly to the
right in this photo. The battery is about 3 years old and is just fine,
the alternator was recently rebuilt per some records in the glovebox. A
new exhaust was also done from the cats back in 2010.
I will perform an oil change and a coolant change
prior to delivery - I have no idea when the oil was last changed, it is
clean. The coolant is a bit murky. I will also check all other fluids and
change if I deem it necessary prior to delivery. This car drives wonderfully,
stops on a dime and does everything right, I just want to make it as right
as I can, even if it's preventative work.
Note the original R12 caps on the AC accumulators!

Ford has announced that it is introducing "calibration updates designed to improve on-road fuel economy for owners of the 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid, 2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid and 2013 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid."
We can speculate that these changes are at least due in part to lawsuits over mileage claims of hybrid vehicles. The automaker is enhancing 2013 models starting in August by raising their electric cruising speed to 85 miles per hour from 62 mph, optimizing the use of active grille shutters and the climate control system, shortening the engine warm-up period by 50 percent and reducing electric fan speed to minimize the fan's energy consumption.
It bears mentioning that Ford is doing pretty well in the US electrified vehicle market this year. The company claims to have grown its share in the segment by 12 points to 16 percent while taking a high number of Toyota Prius trade-ins in the process. Conversely, Toyota has experienced a five-percent drop in new-Prius sales over the same period. Additionally, Ford states that it has increased its share of the US vehicle market by one percent this year, more than any full-line automaker.

Ford is recalling certain 2012 Taurus, 2013 Explorer and 2012 Lincoln MKS models over fuel tank concerns. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, vehicles built between July 19, 2011 and March 15, 2012 may have been built with fuel tanks that have a "marginally sealed seam" on the side. Those seams may not provide the strength necessary to protect the tank from rupture during a collision. They may also leak. The recall covers a total of 3,037 vehicles. NHTSA says that leaked fuel, in the presence of an ignition source, could easily cause a fire.
Dealers will inspect the tanks and replace them as need be free of charge. Owners can expect to be notified once the campaign begins on or around April 22, 2013. You can read the full NHTSA recall notice below for more information.

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
