The Lincoln Continental was the flagship sedan of Lincoln, Ford Motor Company's luxury brand. Sadly, the nameplate bowed out in 2020, leaving Lincoln with an all-SUV lineup. The Continental would be around in some form or other from 1939 up until 2020, albeit with some breaks along the way. Today's 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series is from the fifth generation and is the Collector's Series special edition produced in 1979 to mark the end of the fifth generation. If you'd like to own and drive a proverbial land yacht, this car is the perfect way to do it.
Sporting a dark blue paint job, one of only four colors offered on the Collector's Edition, this 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series looks suitably lavish, even in 2023. The trick headlamp covers are present, as are wire-effect alloy wheels and the Lincoln radiator mascot standing proud. It's a long car, as, by 1979, the length was a parking spot confounding 233 inches. However, these cars aren't meant to mix with the hoi polloi but stand out on their own. Likewise, the blue interior with ample wood trim is equally lavish. It's got squishy and plush seats at the front and rear, with plenty of rear leg room to enjoy, thanks to the 127-inch wheelbase. We can see the Ford Quadrasonic Stereo radio cassette player sitting proudly in the center console, which offered individual sliders to set the front-to-rear sound balance, as well as left to right. Beneath it sits the climate control panel. As you'd expect, this car comes with air conditioning. A gaze at the driver's side door panel reveals not only power window and mirror controls but also seat controls. Automatic headlamps are present and looking at the two-spoke steering wheel, one will be pleasantly surprised to discover cruise control buttons on it. Finally, the linear, white-faced speedometer is pure class.
Our 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Car Collector's Series land yacht is powered by a 400ci (6.6L) Cleveland V8, which, surprisingly, was the smallest engine on offer! Don't expect massive horsepower, as it's a low-revving high-torque engine that sends drive to the rear wheels via a three-speed C6 automatic gearbox.
Lincoln’s famous Town Car is well-known for its starring role in countless movies and TV shows. Introduced in 1980, the Town Car was made across three generations until 2011. The third generation of 1998 to 2011 is arguably the most famous one, as it’s the one that springs to mind when one thinks of a Town Car. Today, we’ve got a Town Car for sale in St. Cloud, Florida.

Stretch limousines come in many forms: Hummers, Escalades, Chrysler 300s, and even Ford Excursions. But none are as iconic or as popular as the Lincoln Town Car. Introduced in 1998, the third-generation Town Car was the top-of-the-line model of the massively successful Panther platform Fords that dominated North America from the late '90s all the way to the early 2010s. Its lower-priced cousin, the Crown Victoria, is most commonly associated with taxi cabs and police fleets, and the more expensive Mercury Grand Marquis was popular as a personal luxury car. The Lincoln, on the other hand, was always a luxury cruiser, and it’s no surprise that it became such a popular model to convert into a stretch limo. Even in its factory form, the Town Car was everything a luxury limo was supposed to be. It had a comfortable ride, a traditional leather and wood trim interior, and an imperious profile with the Lincoln hood ornament at the front. In fact, when the third-generation Town Car went out of production in 2011, it heralded the end of the traditional body-on-frame luxury American car.
During the ‘80s, the Town Car was a trim level that signified the most luxurious and the most expensive version of the Lincoln Continental. It was then spun off to be its own model, and it was a traditional American luxury sedan in the truest sense. The focus was not to make a thrilling driving experience but to create a big sedan that was as comfortable and as smooth as possible. When the model was withdrawn, it marked the end of an era for large V8, full-size, rear-wheel drive, body-on-frame American luxury sedans that were once common. This makes this 2011 Lincoln Town Car Signature Limited model a rare vehicle you can own today. Located in Nevada, this car is available for sale with 30,000 miles on its clock.

Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes.

The 80s brought about a massive change in the automotive world; it was a seismic shift in terms of customer taste and what manufacturers brought to the table.
