Ok so as some of you may know but most may not. My Vic is currently DOA...
anway since my vic is currently dead I had to get me something else to drive..
So I flew up to IA from AL on Thursday March 11th. Pulled my grandfathers 93 Lincoln Town Car Cartier out of storage which it has been sitting in there for two years now.
Anyway we checked it out and I drove it back home Fri night from IA to GA to pick up my family I then drove it from GA back to AL to get my vic towed back to GA that same day.. Lets just say that was a very long day and I was up for more than 38 hours and 21 of those hours was driving..
Anyway so since it is overdue let me introduce you to my new panther..

Specifications:
1993 Lincoln Town Car Cartier Red/Red
150,000Mi
Fully loaded, Only thing it doesn't have is a sun roof.
Beleive it has the touring package as well.
Air suspension in the rear
auto lamps
auto high beams
auto dimming rear view mirror
heated outside mirrors
3:08 rear gear
dual exhaust
Cruise control
auto climate
to damn many way power seats with 2 memory settings
diamond spoke wheels
I have had to do some work on it cause of it sitting so long. We did the brakes the other day found the rear pass side caliper was sticking and had worn the pad down completely and was chewing the rotor up. Replace both rear rotor's and pads front and rear. After we did that I was driving home and the front calipers started sticking and smoking the brakes. Got two new front calipers and one new rear caliper (BTW I love these cars calipers are only $25/Ea). Now next paycheck I will get the last rear caliper and new rotors for the front and another set of pads cause they really got cooked. the new pads already are down to 50% glazed like a Mofo and cracked in a few places.
She really is in showroom condition. Everything works as it should, no tears or fading in the interior...

Very nice. If it had the handling package, it would have a 3.27 axle ratio.

Not in 93 it wouldn't that didn't start till around 95 IIRC.. It has dual exhaust, 3:08 rear gears, sway bars front and rear which is all associated with the touring package. Do you know what the door code would be for it I can check..


I was in Marion/Cedar Rapids, IA area..

I have a '97 with the Ride Control Package. It is a fancy wording for HPP.

BTW, that is one great looking '93 Town Car. :2thumbs:
