Lincoln Town Car

Here are some exterior photos of my 1996 Lincoln Town Car Executive.. I bought this car from a guy that lived, below Montgomery, AL in 2010.. I'm can't recall the exact mileage that the car had, but it was around 96,000 miles. It now has 188,500 on it, so that goes to show that I really haven't driven it that much(in 8 years)..

I haven't had that many problems out of it. The first summer I had it, the right rear suspension air bag went out. Replaced it, I think it was around $150(parts and labor). The next summer the left rear went out, so I did a little research, because I did not want to keep forking out money(know what I mean?)....

I found out that, I could just bypass all the air suspension stuff and go with a rear coil spring conversion kit.. So that's what I did, and it's been riding great ever since.. BAM!!! problem solved..

So a few years go by and I blow the intake manifold, reving it up trying to blow sutt out(shame on me thinking it was a hotrod).. Ha, as I was sitting in my car(with it in park), I saw smoke coming out from under the hood. Investigated for a while, and I finally saw a crack in the manifold,, poor me couldn't catch a break.. LOL.. Replace it with a new one,(new on left and old on right).. Learned my lesson.. So from then on, I started babying my ride...

Guess I could have cleaned my headlights first(made them more clear).. Ha, didn't think about it at the time..

So fresh and so clean, clean... Well the outside anyway... I'll have to clean the inside and show ya'll some photos of it.. I'll keep ya updated on that...

Now this does have dual exhaust, with a 4.6L V-8 that produces 275lb- ft. of torque and 210hp.. It has some nice get up and go when I need it, but I try not to get on it, to often..

Oh,, I almost forgot to mention that, I have had both my lower ball joints on the front suspension to go out as well. Back to back years.. Now, if you start to hear squeeking under the hood when you go over a dip in the road, going over railroad tracks, or even when you turn, your ball joints are about to go out(I had about 2 weeks to spare).. In my case, it was the lower ball joints and not the upper...

One morning, I was leaving Wal-Mart and in the left turning lane, I went to turn onto Hwy.31 and my car felt like it had bottomed out.. I was like, DAAANG... So I crepted across the road real slow cause I didn't know what kind of damage it had done. All I know is when I got out, I looked across the road and there was a scrape all the way across it((haha, made my mark in history)).. Heck, the damage to the car was very minimum(thankfully), so a tow truck was called to take it to a mechanic shop to get fixed.

Maybe this might help someone in the same situation.. Hopefully no one is...

Well I hope everyone enjoy these photos and the life of this car since I have owned it..
